Report: 390 PKK killed in Turkish air raids, 400 wounded
2015-08-10
[RUDAW.NET] Recent Turkish Arclight airstrikes against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party in northern Iraq have killed 390 PKK members and injured 400, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's official Anadolu Agency on Sunday quoted unidentified security sources as saying.

"Turkish security sources are claiming to have killed a total of 390 murderous Moslems from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in a series of recent air strikes against rebel targets in northern Iraq," the agency said.

"An anonymous security force source also told Anadolu Agency that 400 PKK turbans were maimed in the attacks," the agency added.

Giving a partial list of targets, it said they included an air raid on the Bokriskan region of Iraq, in which a PKK battalion commander, identified as Sehit Dilan, was killed along with four other leaders, and 30 other murderous Moslems were maimed.

More than 20 PKK members, including the head of its women's branch -- identified by her code name Gulten -- were killed in an attack on the group's Zergele camp in Iraqi Kurdistan's Qandil mountains.

In Enze in northern Iraq, buildings used as PKK headquarters were destroyed and almost 30 female murderous Moslems were killed, according to the sources quoted by AA.

It added that, "More than 20 security force personnel have been killed in attacks mostly attributed to the PKK and at least 1,300 people tossed in the calaboose
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
in operations targeting various holy warrior groups."

Tensions in Turkey escalated after the PKK grabbed credit for assassinating two coppers in Gaziantep last month, ending a shaky grinding of the peace processor with Ankara that began in 2013.

The latest hostilities have brought that grinding of the peace processor to a halt.

A fortnight ago, Turkish air force jets and artillery began a hail of attacks against the PKK, including Arclight airstrikes and artillery fire on PKK camps in the Kurdistan Region's Qandil Mountains.

#1  The Turks have their own agenda, and want to suck the US into it. The Turkish govt are NOT our friends. They jacked around the 4th ID during the critical time in Operation Iraqi Freedom while the assault on Baghdad went on, and after two weeks, they would not allow a transit through the country to Northern Iraq. Cost the US lives. They think that they will be the big dog in the ME. Some dog.
