Report: "New Turkish airstrikes in N.Iraq

Turkey has reportedly launched airstrikes against the terrorist PKK in northern Iraq as clashes resurface between it and the Turkish military, Iran's state-run Press TV said on Sunday. Press TV cited a report by Iraq's Aswat al-Iraq news agency, which quoted eyewitnesses as saying Turkish warplanes pounded Nirwa Rikan, east of the town of al-Imadiya, on Saturday. It was not clear whether the attack resulted in any casualties. The PKK declared a unilateral so-called truce last August and later extended it until Turkey's general elections on June 12, to give the government space to resolve the conflict. The PKK said after it called off the truce last month that it would not attack Turkish targets, but would take a more "effective" defensive posture.
