Turkey attacks Kurdish targets in Iraq

Filed under: Politics — admin @ 4:56 pm

Northern Iraq is under constant attack by Turkish planes. In just ten days of the New Year, Turkish warplanes have attacked atleast three suspected Kurdish rebel hideouts in northern Iraq. According to Turkey’s military the planes struck in an “effective pinpoint operation”, targeting eight caves and other hideouts being used by rebels of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). It is also reported that Turkish troops are already set to chase rebels in a province of Turkey nearing Iraqi borders. Everyday tens of rebels are reported dead and several injured with no or nearly no medical aid.
These attacks on Turkish / Kurdish rebels are backed up by the intelligence services provided by US to Turkish government, though none of the reports clearly states that the recent attacks are based upon the same reports. European Union, US and Turkey blames Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).to wage the war in parts of Turkey for autonomous parts. PKK is considered to be terrorist organizations not quiet different from the status of al-Qaeda. Turkish raids on Iraq add’s further in already deteriorated situation of the country. A war in a country where everything is already in tatters because of the war led by no one else but Turkey’s closest ally United States.
