"Turkey pressures Iraqi Kurds

ANKARA, Turkey, June 2 (UPI) -- Turkey's military remains concerned about Kurdish insurgent activity in neighboring Iraq.

On Thursday the Turkish military shelled Iraq's Kurdistan region. The artillery barrage wounded a shepherd and killed seven of his flock.

The barrage came a day after a group of Kurdish and American officials, including a U.S. general, inspected Iraqi Kurdistan for evidence of purported illegal cross-border Turkish military operations."
