"Turkish FM: ground offensive against Kurdish rebels in Iraq remains an option
ANKARA, Turkey: A Turkish ground offensive against Kurdish rebel hideouts in northern Iraq remains possible, the foreign minister said on Tuesday.
"The option for a ground operation is open," CNN-Turk television quoted Foreign Minister Ali Babacan as saying. He said the timing of any operation would depend on weather conditions. Turkey has staged aerial attacks against suspected rebel camps in northern Iraq since Dec. 16 after securing U.S. promises to provide intelligence about Kurdish militants."
