"urkish authorities recently uncovered an active plot by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) to acquire cellular phones for use in remote-controlled bomb explosions (Yeni Safak, May 8). The operation involved PKK operatives placing false employment advertisements in newspapers in order to gather identity information from job candidates (Yeni Safak, May 8). The identify information is then used to acquire mobile telephones using names not associated with PKK members. The PKK uses these unmarked phones in remote-controlled bomb explosions against Turkish government interests. Additionally, the PKK uses the cell phones for internal communication between operatives, making it more difficult for authorities to trace or listen in on communications (Yeni Safak, May 8). In light of the plot, Turkey's Communications Ministry and Telecommunications Agency is changing the registration process for cellular phones, requiring new subscribers to register for an account in person (Yeni Safak, May 8)."
