We did the same thing with Saddam when he went after the Kurds. Saddam was hanged for that. Neat, huh?

About 60 rebel targets destroyed in Turkish air strike in Iraq

ANKARA (AFP) — Turkish warplanes destroyed about 60 Kurdish rebel positions in neighbouring Iraq in a bombing raid earlier this week, the military said Friday.

"All targets were hit successfully," the general staff said in a statement about Tuesday's bombing raid on Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) positions in northern Iraq.

The targets in three regions along the Turkish border included two anti-aircraft posts, four ammunition depots as well as training and logistical bases.

"Work is underway to determine the losses of the terrorists," it said.

Tuesday's raid was the fourth strike on PKK targets in northern Iraq that the Turkish army has confirmed since December 16, in addition to a ground cross-border operation to stop a group of rebels trying to infiltrate Turkey.

At least 150 PKK militants have been killed in the air raids so far and more than 200 rebel positions destroyed, according to the army.

Iraqi Kurds, who run northern Iraq, reported two other air strikes in December that Ankara did not confirm.

The raids are conducted with intelligence from the United States, which, like its NATO ally Turkey, lists the PKK as a terrorist group.

Why are they being bombed in the first place? I can't help but believe that there are ulterior motives. I question the official reasons because we have been lied to about everything.
