"Turkey demands Iraq hand over Kurdish fighters David Batty and agencies Friday October 26, 2007
Turkey today demanded the extradition of all Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq as its air force carried out further strikes on militant hideouts in the area.
The call by the Turkish deputy prime minister, Cemil Cicek, came after a meeting with the Iraqi defence minister in an attempt to defuse the rising conflict over the Kurdistan Workers' party (PKK) fighters, who are operating from bases in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq."
