One Peshmerga killed in Zakho: commander
|
[Rudaw] A Peshmerga was killed by a suspected sniper in Zakho district on Tuesday morning while on a joint mission with border guards to hold a strategic point in the area near the Ottoman Turkish border where The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
is carrying out operations against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a commander told Rudaw.
"A group of border guards with the support of Peshmerga forces were going forward to control a strategic point at Darkar sub-district when two shots were fired. As a result a Peshmerga was martyred," Brig. Gen. Dler Zebari, a commander of Iraqi border guards, told Rudaw, adding that the source of the shots is unknown.
Zebari identified the Peshmerga who was killed as Razwan Mohammed from Zakho.
"There were only two shots fired. It seems it was a sniper who unfortunately martyred a Peshmerga," Zebari added.
The Ministry of Peshmerga condemned the act and blamed it on the PKK in a Facebook statement later on Tuesday. "The PKK forces must understand that with these actions nothing will be achieved and that our people will pay a big price."
They called on the Iraqi government to intervene and show their "active and effective role in stopping" the violations at the border areas of the Region.
