Bloodless Coup

Turkey Bombs Iraqi Sites (Already Attacked by Iran)

Since a different military clash in South Asia is getting more press, I thought I'd note this one.

Turkish warplanes crossed the border into northern Iraqi airspace to bomb 16 Kurdish rebel sites, a spokesman for Turkey' s military said Friday. There were no reports of any deaths in the air attacks, which occurred late Thursday night ... Ahmed Deniz, a spokesman for Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq, told wire services the airstrikes targeted areas that already were largely abandoned, owing to earlier attacks from neighboring Iran.
