“Turkey staged retaliatory airstrikes against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq on Sunday, as thousands of Turks attended funerals for 15 soldiers who were killed by the rebels in a cross-border attack from Iraq. Public anger mounted in Turkey at the inability of civilian leaders to stop attacks by the rebel Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). From bases in southeastern Turkey and in northern Iraq, the group has waged a 24-year guerrilla war for greater autonomy for Turkey’s minority Kurds.” (10/05/08) Link: http://tinyurl.com/4x5pda Filed under: RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
