Kurd Militia Ousts Turkish Rebels
From Times Wire Reports
An Iraqi Kurdish militia, emboldened by an alliance with Turkish troops, drove fellow Kurds out of a key northern city in battles that left more than 100 dead, an Iraqi opposition group said. A spokesman for the Iraqi National Congress said the Kurdistan Democratic Party, or KDP, overran all six offices of Turkey’s Kurdistan Workers Party in Irbil over the weekend. The KDP has been aiding Turkish troops who have been on a cross-border drive against the Turkish Kurd guerrillas in the mountains north of Irbil.
