M.Dancer Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 ANKARA, Turkey: Hundreds of Turkish troops crossed into northern Iraq early Wednesday to chase Kurdish guerrillas who attack Turkey from bases there, Turkish security officials said. One official said the troops had returned to their bases by the end of the day, but Turkey's foreign minister denied its troops had ever entered Iraq.The senior security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, characterized the raid as a "hot pursuit" raid that was limited in scope. They told The Associated Press it did not constitute the kind of large incursion that Turkish leaders have been discussing in recent weeks http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/06/06/...y-Iraq-Raid.php Just one of those episodes that break up the day in day out monotony of the quagmire.
