An angry mob attacked Turkish opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu at a military funeral in Ankara on Sunday.
Kilicdaroglu, chairman of the Republican People’s Party, or CHP, was punched and kicked at the service for one of four soldiers killed in a clash with the separatist PKK group near the Iraqi border on Friday, state-run Anadolu Agency reported. He was taken to safety at a nearby house that the mob pelted with stones, according to Halk TV.
