35 Killed in Turkish Strike on Kurdish Area 
--------------------------------------------



Kurdish officials have accused the Turkish military of carrying out a
massacre in northern Iraq. The pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party
claims 35 smugglers were killed in an overnight air strike by Turkey
Wednesday night. The Turkish military claims the targets were determined
to be militants making their way towards the Turkish border under the
cover of night.
