Police have detained 10 suspects over the deadly bomb attack that hit the southeastern province of Diyarbakır early on Nov. 4, killing 11 people and wounding hundreds, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.

PKK-affliated Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) had claimed responsibility for the attack on Nov. 6.

Earlier, on Nov. 5, Reuters had reported that ISIL was behind the bomb attack, quoting the jihadist group’s statement on Amaq News Agency.

The Diyarbakır Governor’s Office later announced in two separate statements that the PKK staged the attack with a three-ton bomb-laden vehicle
