According to its Prime Minister, Turkey may launch an attack on Kurdish guerrillas in Iraq, despite likely U.S. opposition. After a bomb killed six people in the capital of Ankara on May 22, many Turkish officials are calling for retaliation against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which they blame for the attack. The PKK, which has been fighting for Kurdish self-rule in southeastern Turkey since 1984 and is based in the mountains of north Iraq, has denied responsibility for the bomb."
