Three Die In PKK Prisoner Escape In Turkey 

ANKARA, Nov 22 (Reuter) - Two Kurdish rebel prisoners and a Turkish 
gendarmerie policeman were killed on Friday when the inmates tried to 
flee a hospital in central Turkey, Anatolian news agency reported. 

It said the two Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) guerrillas tried to escape 
after being taken from a jail in the central province of Tokat for 
treatment in a nearby hospital. 

Security officials opened fire on the prisoners after one of them seized 
the gendarme's gun and shot him dead. 

Another PKK member was captured unhurt by guards. 

The PKK, thousands of whose members are held in Turkish prisons, has 
fought a 12-year armed struggle with the military for Kurdish self rule 
in which over 21,000 people have died.
