Turkish PM - killings could be internal feud

The Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan asserted that the killing of three PKK members in France this week could be due to an "internal feud", rather than a political assassination as has been widely reported.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Erdogan said:

"The place was protected not by one lock but many coded locks,"

"Those three people opened it (the door). I do not assume they would open it to people they didn't know,"

"The killings could be the result of an internal feud or steps aimed at disrupting the steps we are taking with good intentions."
