The United States said on Tuesday that it is offering up to $5 million for information leading to the identification or location of three senior members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The announcement was made by the U.S. Embassy in Ankara following a visit by U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Palmer. It said Washington authorised rewards up to $5 million for information on Murat Karayilan, $4 million for Cemil Bayik and $3 million for Duran Kalkan.
