Turkey's War Against The Kurds Escalates



VOA: Turkish Warplanes Kill 55 Kurdish Rebels in Iraq

Turkish security sources say Turkish fighter jets have carried out a new barrage of cross-border airstrikes against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq, killing at least 55.

The sources said the strikes targeted camps and other sites used by the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK.

Turkish security forces and the outlawed PKK have been trading fire on a near-daily basis since the collapse of a two-year-old cease-fire and peace process in July.
