"One dead, 10 injured in Kurdish clashes in Turkey"

KIZILTEPE, Turkey (Reuters) - One thousand Kurdish protesters set fire to two banks on Saturday and youths set up barricades in a town in southeastern Turkey where violent clashes with security forces this week have killed eight people.

Security sources said one protester died in the latest clashes in Kiziltepe and 10 people were injured.

...The latest death brought the toll in this week's violence -- Turkey's worst civil unrest in decades -- to eight dead.

Riots erupted on Tuesday after funeral ceremonies for 14 members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) killed last weekend by security forces.
