Morning Star.png Military Steps up Attack against Kurdish Forces The Morning Star, London, 12 August 2016 Turkish jets bombed suspected Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) positions in northern Iraq yesterday in retaliation for attacks that killed 12 people the day before. Elsewhere, police in Istanbul conducted a series of raids across the city, including on a branch of Turkey's pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP), detaining 17 suspected Kurdish militants. The raids came a day after four Turkish soldiers were killed near the border with Iraq in attacks on military vehicles and eight other people died in the country's south-east in simultaneous bombing targeting police vehicles. Meanwhile, the crackdown on people suspected of involvement in last month's failed military coup continued. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said two Turkish military attaches based in Greece - colonels in the army and navy - had since fled to Italy. And the Anadolu news agency said Rear Admiral Mustafa Ugurlu, who was on a Nato assignment in the United States, had been missing from his base since July 22. He has reportedly requested asylum.
