German domestic spy chief rejects Turkey's allegation it harbors PKK militants

The head of Germany's domestic spy agency Tuesday rejected as "completely unjustified" Turkey's accusation that Germany is harboring militants tied to the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).


"That accusation is completely unjustified. We have been working for many years to ensure that the PKK in Germany poses no danger to Germany or Turkey," Hans-Georg Maassen told Reuters in an interview late Tuesday.

He said Germany had a good exchange of information with Turkey and that generally the countries worked well together on that issue.
