Turkey bombs Kurdish rebel targets in southeast

Published on: 

Turkish jets bombed targets in the southeast where members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) are based, the first strikes on the outlawed group since a 2013 ceasefire, a security source said on Tuesday. Turkish F-16 jets dropped bombs late yesterday on PKK targets in  the village of Daglica in the Kurdish-majority Hakkari province near  the border with Iraq, the source told AFP on condition of anonymity. The fierce clashes between Islamic State insurgents and Kurdish forces in the key Syrian town of Kobane have shaken Turkey’s fragile peace process with the PKK, blacklisted as a terrorist organisation by Ankara and the international community.
