Rebels: Turkey bombs Kurd rebel targets in Iraq

SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq (AP) - Kurdish rebels say Turkish warplanes have bombed abandoned guerrilla camps in northern Iraq. They say there were no casualties.

The PKK rebel group says the attack happened in the Zab region at dawn on Friday. Rebel spokesman Bahrouz Idyal says the Turkish jets bombed the area twice.

The Turkish military had no immediate comment.

Turkey has conducted frequent air raids on suspected rebel positions in northern Iraq, and it launched a weeklong ground offensive there earlier this year. The rebels use bases in Iraq as a staging ground for cross-border attacks on Turkish targets.
