About 1,000 U.S. troops have parachuted into northern Iraq and seized an airfield in Kurdish-controlled territory

If its Kurdish controlled why are they saying 'seized'?

....the 173rd airborne brigade and seized the airfield to clear the way for armored tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles.

How are the tanks going to get there?

If its Kurdish controlled why are they saying 'seized'?

The Kurds control the territory generally, but not the airfield specifically. The Kurds never really had solid control of anything, just enough force to keep Saddam from having tight control.

How are the tanks going to get there?
