( dpa ) - Police have arrested a suspect in last week's deadly car bombing in southern Turkey, Turkish media reported Tuesday.

Last Thursday's car bomb in the south-eastern city of Diyarbakir killed six people and wounded more than 60. The sixth victim died Tuesday of injuries.

The suspect received training in northern Iraq's Kurdish Autonomous Region, reports said.

The conflict between the Turkish military and the banned Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) in south-eastern Turkey has escalated recently. The military has also struck at PKK rebels in northern Iraq.
