Reports: Turkish jets bomb PKK bases in Iraq

Turkish jets launched air raids on suspected Kurdish rebel bases in northern Iraq on Wednesday, Turkish and Kurdish media reported, hours after eight soldiers and a village guard were killed in an attack by the autonomy-seeking guerrillas.

Some 15 warplanes took off from a Turkish base to strike at bases which the rebels belonging to the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, use as a springboard to attack targets troops inside Turkey, according to a report on the NTV news channel. CNN-Turk television said Turkish F-16s were involved in the raids. (AP)
