Turkey: Jets target 'separatist terrorists' in Sirnak
2015-07-29
[AA.TR] Two Turkish F-16 fighter jets dropped bombs on at least three suspected "separatist terrorist organization" targets in the southeastern Sirnak province on Tuesday, the Turkish General Staff said in a statement.
That'd be within Turkey, not in Iraq or Syria, and therefore an internal affair which is none of your business, infidel.
Although the official statement does not specify the name of the group, it is believed that the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) was the target.

According to the statement, the jets struck two anti-aircraft gun positions and a mortar position in Dugun Mountain.

The Turkish General Staff said that the action was taken following an attack on Turkish gendarmerie forces by suspected PKK members in Sirnak's Uludere Karacali Tepe region.

Security forces were now carrying out damage assessment in the aftermath of the Arclight airstrikes, the statement added.

The PKK is listed as a terror organization by the U.S., the EU and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
.

Turkey recently launched Arclight airstrikes against Daesh and the PKK in Syria and Iraq. On Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday, Turkish jets bombed PKK camps in northern Iraq for the first time in the last two-and-a-half years. Turkey also launched attacks against Daesh. Turkish jets again hit PKK targets inside and outside Turkey on Sunday night.

You kidding? I can't not see it now. Also, the "bomb" is looking suspiciously like Koko the Clown about to be shot out of a Dahlgren gun.

#1  The Turks declare "war on ISIS", then immediately start bombing Kurds, and still leaving their border basically free for ISIS to use. Typical lying Turks.
