PARIS — French police have arrested 13 Kurds from Turkey as part of an investigation into financing terrorist activities, a police official said.
The arrests were made early yesterday on the northern outskirts of Paris, the official, whose name can’t be used because of police rules, said. The arrested Kurds appear to be linked to the PKK, the Kurdistan Workers Party, a guerrilla group based in Northern Iraq and Southeast Turkey that supports the creation of a Kurdish state, the official said, though the investigation was still under way.
