Turkey Deploys Troops Against Kurdish Rebels in Iraq
(AFP) Turkey launched an air and ground offensive against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq on Wednesday. Turkey's defense ministry said "commandos" moved in, supported by drones and helicopters, following a bombardment with rocket launchers and artillery guns that hit more than 150 targets. It said the operation came after a "recent upsurge in attacks on our police stations and military bases" near the Iraqi border.
