Security forces found the handmade explosive on Wednesday, wrapped up in a package containing pages from the holy Quran in a house abandoned by PKK terrorists in Nusaybin in the southeastern Mardin province.
The handmade explosive hidden under the pages was laid as a trap for security forces, who were meant to remove the pages as a sign of respect, and then the explosive would go off. But they didn’t fall for it.
They also found another prayer book on the stove with explosives placed inside. Both explosives were defused, said security sources, speaking on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the press.
