Three Turkish soldiers killed, three wounded in Kurdish attack
At least three Turkish soldiers were killed and three others were wounded in Kurdish attack that occurred near the border with Iraq, on the military post in Hakkari province. Clashes erupted late Monday and left 9 Kurdish rebels dead. The Anatolia news agency reported that a military operation is under way to catch rebels who escaped the area.
The Kurdish rebels reportedly said that Turkish government had ignored their call for a dialogue. This caused activation of clashes between the two sides. The violence has claimed the lives of some 40,000 since 1984.
