Articles About Terrorist Activities

Close to 375 PKK terrorists have been killed or injured in the past five months in Turkey’s military operations against the terror organization and internal power struggles within the PKK, the army said on Friday.

“We have confirmed through various sources that since October 2008, the terrorist organization suffered close to 375 casualties in northern Iraq, either dead or wounded, as a result of air raids and artillery fire,” military spokesman Gen. Metin Gurak was quoted by Anatolian Agency as telling a weekly briefing.

He did not give a breakdown of the dead and wounded.

The PKK, which launches cross-border attacks on Turkey from bases in northern Iraq, is listed as a terrorist group by Ankara and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States.

Turkey has been carrying out military operations against the terror organization PKK both inside Turkey and in northern Iraq. Deadly clashes have also erupted within the PKK over a command struggle between the leaders of the terror organization.
