Turkey's Kurdish peace process at risk amid fury over Syrian town

DIYARBAKIR - Windows shattered by looting protesters, the largest city in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast shows plenty of signs of the violence that swept it last week, but optimism over a fragile peace process with Kurdish guerrillas is far harder to find.
