Turkish airstrikes kill 55 Kurdish rebels
2015-09-20
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Turkish fighter jets carried out a new barrage of cross-border Arclight airstrikes this week against Kurdish bully boyz in northern Iraq, killing at least 55 rebels, state-run Anatolia news agency reported Saturday.

The strikes by F-16 and F-4 jets targeted caves, houses and camps used by the bully boy Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), Anatolia said, citing unnamed security sources.

"At least 55 to 60 terrorists" were killed in the operation, which destroyed munitions depots, the report added.

Turkish security forces and the outlawed PKK have shot it out on a near daily basis since a two-year-old ceasefire fell apart in late July with Ankara's launch of a two-pronged "anti-terror" offensive against Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
jihadists in Syria and the jihadists' Kurdish foes.
