(AFP) – 4 hours ago

ANKARA — Turkish planes carried out two raids in Iraq on Friday and bombarded 85 Kurdish rebel targets, the army announced on Saturday, without giving any possible casualty figures.

Turkey resumed its bombing of positions held by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in the Iraq mountains after a break of more than a year following an attack on Wednesday in southeast Turkey in which nine members of the Turkish security forces were killed.
