Legal action to ban Kurdish party

Turkish prosecutors have reportedly moved to ban a pro-Kurdish political party in Turkey that has been accused of colluding with Kurdish rebels.

Supreme Court prosecutors asked the Constitutional Court to bar the Democratic Society Party (DTP), according to reports.

They allege the DTP, founded in 2005, is linked to the Kurdish rebel PKK.

The legal action came amid tensions with Iraq over Turkey's threat to make cross-border attacks on PKK bases.
