Turkish Media Claims PKK Murat Karayilan Killed

[Piling]

Murat Karayilan is not a simple fighter, he is the leader of a political wing within the PKK. But I don't think he is dead. Perhaps wounded or imprisoned in unclear situation.

I have been through every site I could find in both English and Turkish

The vast majority of sites ask the question "Is Murat Karayilan dead?"

Nobody says he is happy and healthy

Many Kurdish sites make no comment at all

This is an important announcement

Purported to have been a speech by Murat Karayilan

If this is supposed to show that Murat is alive and well - it has failed

Failed because of the fact that this is such an important announcement

So important that one would have expected there to be a video of this speech

Murat is not noted for his shyness but as yet, I have found no such video
