report: Turkey attacks Kurdish bases: 120 die

[Bilge_Rat]

Turkey's military said Friday it killed as many as 120 Kurdish rebels in an air raid on rebel hideouts in northern Iraq last month and a daylong incursion by elite commandos into Iraq this week.

Hundreds of elite commandos crossed into Iraq for a daylong operation to hunt down a group of rebels who were escaping after an attack near the border town of Uludere. Kir said the commandos, who returned to their bases on the same day, killed five rebels but later intelligence reports suggested the rebel casualties, also in a co-ordinated air strike, were about 20.

according to other news report, it was more of a slaughter than a military operation, since there were apparently no casualties on the turkish side.
