Turkey's Military Says Its Air Force Has Hit Kurdish Rebel Targets In Northern Iraq
It says the jets bombed Iraq's Qandil mountains on Friday. The military believes that is where Kurdish rebel leaders are hiding and Kurdish insurgents are training.
As usual, the military did not say whether the attack resulted in casualties.
On Monday, Turkey's air force bombed Kurdish rebel targets in Iraq's Zap region, close to the Turkish border.
The Kurdistan Workers' Party has been fighting for self-rule in Turkey's southeast since 1984.
This year Turkey has launched several air force attacks and one major ground operation against rebel bases across the border with Iraq.
