| 2007-09-04 |
| Iran’s Revolutionary Guards killed and seized the equipment of three Kurdish rebels who had entered Iran, state television reported late on Sunday. It said the rebels were members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a Kurdish separatist movement that is fighting Turkey and which has an Iranian offshoot called the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK). “The terrorists of the PKK group who had entered our country were trapped in the net of the Revolutionary Guards soldiers and were killed,” state television said, adding that the Guards seized cameras used at night, satellite phones and weapons. It did not give further details. Clashes between Iranian forces and PJAK militants were reported earlier this year in the region where the borders of Iran, Turkey and Iraq meet. Analysts say PJAK rebels have bases in the remote mountains of northeastern Iraq. |
