"Turkish copters fire on Iraq sites; Kurd guerrillas targeted in raids" by Yahya Barzanji/Associated Press November 14, 2007
SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq - Turkish helicopters swooped into Iraqi territory yesterday, Iraqi officials said, firing on villages in renewed pressure to dislodge Turkish Kurd guerrillas from bases in northern Iraq used to stage cross-border raids.
The helicopter attack was the first major Turkish action against the rebels.
Per Bush's and AIPAC's approval, despite what the Zionist-controlled press tells you!
A spokesman for the Iraqi Kurd regional administration, Jamal Abdullah, denied the helicopter attack report but said two Turkish warplanes dropped flares in mountains near the Iraqi town of Zakhu.
But Colonel Hussein Tamir, an Iraqi Army officer who supervises border guards, said the Turkish helicopters opened fire before dawn on abandoned villages northeast of Zakhu, an Iraqi Kurd town near the border with Turkey. There were no casualties, he said.
A Turkish government official confirmed the helicopter raids and said they were directed at suspected hideouts of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which has been fighting for autonomy for Turkish Kurds since 1984 in a conflict that has killed nearly 40,000 people.
Yeah, MOSTLY KURDS, folks!!!!!!!
For wanting democracy and independence.
Turks good at genocides, though!
The official said more raids could be expected within a few days. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
A PKK spokesman corroborated accounts of the air strikes, and said clashes had been taking place inside Turkey since late Monday. He also spoke on condition of anonymity. Witnesses also said the Turkish bombing lasted a half hour in the villages.
Four Turkish soldiers were killed yesterday in a clash with rebels near the Turkish city of Sirnak, Turkish Defense Minister Vecdi Gonul said.
Lost a battle, huh, Turks.
Buried in the middle of the paper, middle of the piece.
American authorities have agreed to share intelligence with Turkey about Kurdish rebel positions, enabling the Turkish military to carry out limited assaults.
Like I said, Bush-approved!
Air raids conducted with the help of newly provided US intelligence could help Turkey chip away at rebel strength and show an angry public that it is taking strong measures to defeat the rebels."
Now more web censorship! WTF?
Meanwhile, three US soldiers were killed in attacks north of Baghdad, the military said today. Two soldiers died yesterday in an explosion in Diyala province, the US military said in a statement, adding that another soldier was killed by gunfire today while providing security during a training mission for police near Mosul.
I thought things were getting better.
Yesterday, the U.S. military said American and Iraqi troops killed 15 suspected Al Qaeda in Iraq militants in a daylong battle the day before in Adwaniyah, about 12 miles south of Baghdad.
Suspected? Means they might not be? Could be regular people?
And why hide this, AmeriKan MSM!?
During the battle, American F-16 fighter jets dropped two 500-pound bombs on insurgent positions, the military said. It was unclear whether the 15 victims died in the gunbattle, or as a result of the US bombing.
Oh, now I see why they censored the web.
If we are all going there, you wouldn't want people to know this about the surge!
I mean the the U.S. military's 75 air raids a day, and the five-fold increase in air bombings.
Elsewhere, at least 16 people where killed or found dead across the country yesterday, according to police reports."
O.K. That means at least 31 people dead yesterday. Hey, wait a minute!
The surge supposedly worked, but over the summer Iraq averaged 35 people killed every day -- with the number of Iraqis killed by the surge around 300 per day, 10,000 per month (and 1.2 million Iraqis dead since the invasion).
And that is not including not including the 1,654 killed in September.
WTF, hey?!?! Why is the MSM LYING about violence in Iraq?
PUSHING an AGENDA, hanh?!!!
Now I know why they censored this on the web.
Can't let the AmeriKan people know they are being lied to by these shit papers!!!!
And why didn't this make the Globe? They carry enough NYT shit:
F.B.I. Says Guards Killed 14 Iraqis Without Cause
