The Turkish army confirms that bombed targets Kurds in Iraq

ANKARA - Turkish fighter aircraft bombed during the night from Saturday to Sunday Kurdish targets in northern Iraq, has confirmed the Turkish army in a news release on its website.

The air raids were aimed "Zap regions, Hakurk and Avasin, and the massive Qandil," which serves as a hangout for Kurdish rebel PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party), said the General Staff of the Turkish army in its press release.

The shelling began to local 01H00 (23H00 GMT) and all aircraft returned to their base in local 04H15 (02H15 GMT), said the press release.

According to the text, the artillery continued to pillonner the area after the departure of aircraft.

Shortly before, an official of the Iraqi Kurdistan had announced to AFP that the Turkish planes had bombed villages in Iraqi territory in an area which serves as a hangout for Kurdish rebels.

Apparently they received permission from the US before the attack. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7147271.stm

I say good riddance of a bunch of terrorist, Marxist thugs. These PKK are no ally of us or, in reality, the Kurdish people.

Hope all of the PKK are dead. Any friend of Pelosi [her aides with her approval met with them on that Syrian trip to destabilize Iraq and US war in Iraq] and Syria are definitely our enemies.

Not everything here is correct. The map is definitely wrong and the reports of casualties are also obvious bull.

First Sadaam Hussein was genociding the Kurds..now it’s the Muslim Turks with the State dept blessing.

Rice seems to be suffering from some kind of fatigue...how about a replacement?

And do you support the pkk? They openly, purposely kill innocent civilians. The Turks have many and massive faults, but their government is in absolutely no way committing genocide by killing Marxist, terrorist scum.

You are way over your head...your knowledge of the PKK demonstrates how little you know.

As for me, I am in favor of anything or anyone that can rid the world of the Muslim Turkish parastate.
