ANKARA [MENL] -- Turkey plans to disband a controversial counter-insurgency accused of widespread abuse and corruption.
A government report has recommended the disbanding of the paramilitary Village Guard, meant to fight the Kurdish insurgency in southeastern Turkey. The guard, with 82,000 members in 22 provinces, has been mandated to monitor and combat the Kurdish Workers Party, which contains a major presence along the border with Iraq.
