8 Turkish soldiers killed in PKK attack
ANKARA - Eight Turkish soldiers were killed and six wounded Monday in an attack by Kurdish WorkersÂ’ Party (PKK) militants on a military post in the eastern Turkish province of Tunceli, the Dogan news agency reported.

Dogan reported that the two PKK militants had gained entrance to the Kocatepe village military post when guards recognised the jeep they were travelling in. The jeep was later found to have been stolen. One of the militants threw hand grenades once inside the compoundÂ’s garden while the other fired on troops with an automatic weapon. Dogan also reported that shots were fired at the compound by an unknown number of other PKK rebels hiding behind rocks nearby.

Three soldiers were pronounced dead at the scene of the attack. Five others died later in hospital. Gendarmes, military police responsible for security in rural areas, killed one of the attackers. The other was believed to have been wounded but managed to escape.
PKK needs to be hunted down, and if the Iraqi Kurds aren't careful and fail to help turn in the PKK, the Turks are going to move on them.
