Turkey Threatens Ground Invasion of Northern Syria in Assault on Kurds
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Turkey is threatening to launch a ground invasion of northern Syria as
part of its ongoing assault on Kurdish groups in the area following a
deadly bombing in Istanbul on November 13. Turkey is claiming it has
killed 184 Kurds in recent attacks on northern Syria and Iraq.
Meanwhile, Iran is escalating its own crackdown on Kurdish areas. One
Kurdish human rights group estimates 42 people have been killed over the
last week. We will have more on Iran after headlines.
