U.S. Provides PKK with Top Intelligence
| US provides PKK with intelligence Wed, 24 Oct 2007 11:58:12 PressTV.ir | |
News outlets said over 200 Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebels carrying heavy machine guns, rocket launchers and anti-aircraft Dushka trespassed into Turkey and launched an attack on a military base in the village of Daghlica. But the US military reconnaissance satellites and air patrols along the rugged Turkish-Iraqi border declined to inform Turkey's officials of the PKK penetration. According to informed sources, US Appache helicopters helped the PKK cross-border raiders flee back into northern Iraq by tipping them off about the Turkish military's tracking course. The US had also blocked the Turkish military's satellite and telecommunication links in the course of the operations, the sources added. A Turkish soldier, who sustained injuries in the raid, said that Turkish helicopters reached the combat zone three and a half hours later only after the troops had ran out of all their ammunition. The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey and much of the international community including the US. The group has been blamed for thousands of bombings, assassinations, kidnappings and acts of sabotage for the past two decades. DT/BGH |
