ISTANBUL: Turkish military prosecutors yesterday cleared five army officers accused of perpetrating a botched air strike on Kurds in 2011 that killed dozens of people including children. But the ruling was immediately denounced by Kurdish groups and representatives of the victims’ families as unacceptable. In December 2011, Turkish fighter jets bombed the town of Uludere on the Iraq border, killing 34 smugglers including 19 children in an attack Kurdish politicians described as a “massacre” of civilians.
