Two Iraqi border guards killed in Duhok
|
[Rudaw] Two Iraqi border guards were killed and one was injured in northern Duhok province on Friday. A source said they were killed in an altercation with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), but media affiliated with the gang blamed The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
The incident took place on Friday morning between the villages of Soriya and Shilan in the Zakho area where the border guards were on patrol, according to the source, speaking to Rudaw on condition of anonymity.
One of the dead has been named as Ali Ramazan, a 38-year-old father of seven children.
"We got a call in the morning, they said ’Ali is maimed. It was the PKK, they shot at him on the road.’ That’s all we know, nothing else. It was around ten in the morning and until now we do not know at the end how he was martyred, whether it was a stand-off or an ambush," Ramazan’s brother told Rudaw.
The other border guard has been identified as Mehvan Naji.
Roj News, affiliated with the PKK, said they were killed by Turkey.
"The occupying Ottoman Turkish army bombarded an Iraqi border checkpoint, causing the death of two soldiers and one maimed," it reported.
Founded in 1978, the PKK initially called for the establishment of an independent Kurdistan but now calls for autonomy. The group, which has bases in the Kurdistan Region, is designated a terrorist organization by Turkey.
Turkey began intensifying its decades-long war against the PKK in Duhok province last summer, looking to secure the border region.
