U.S. may bomb PKK bases?

PanARMENIAN.Net - If Iraqi Kurds refuse to support in the U.S. in fighting the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), labeled as a terrorist organization by the Department of State, the U.S. may bombard the bases of the Kurdish rebels, said professor Amatzia Baram of the United States Institute of Peace.



The U.S. undertook to cooperate with administration of the Northern Kurdistan for neutralization of PKK rebels at the Iraqi-Turkish border, according to him. "If Iraq holds back, the United States will have to allow a limited Turkish incursion. The Iraqi government is not capable to control Baghdad, not to mention mountainous Kurdistan situated hundreds of miles northward of the capital," he said, Trend reports.



November 30, following the government's approval of the cross-border operation, Turkish artillery and helicopters shelled positions of the Kurdish rebels. Reports said the operation was a success and the enemy suffered fatal casualties.
