Kurdish Residents Flee Homes After Turkish Airstrikes Hit Village 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In news from the Middle East, residents are fleeing the Kurdish village
of Amadiya after Turkey's heaviest airstrikes in two weeks pummeled the
hillside town in northern Iraq. Turkey has said the targets of the
airstrikes are the military camps of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, known
as the PKK. But residents of Amadiya say yesterday's airstrikes struck
civilian homes and fields.
