| New mandate for Turkish attacks on PKK in Iraq |
| 2008-10-09 |
| Turkey's Parliament on Wednesday extended the government's mandate to order strikes against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq as an attack on a police bus in the country's southeast killed four people. The assault came just days after rebels from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) killed 17 soldiers in a daytime attack on a military outpost near the border with Iraq. |
