Turkish Warplanes Continue Raids on Northern Iraq

HeadlineDec 26, 2007

Turkish warplanes bombed Kurdish areas in northern Iraq earlier today in the fourth cross-border Turkish raid in five days. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey’s fight against Kurdish rebels will go on despite protests from the Iraqi government.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan: “Our determination will continue as planned. It is impossible for us to make concessions from it, because fighting against terrorism is our priority now. Therefore, it is a necessity for us to keep fighting against terrorism as the parliamentary permit entails.”

The Turkish military claims it destroyed more than 200 Kurdish rebel targets and killed hundreds of Kurdish fighters in a series of air strikes ten days ago.
