"Turkey bombs 13 Kurdish targets in northern Iraq

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish warplanes bombed 13 Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq, the military said Thursday.

Turkey has conducted frequent air raids on suspected positions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, in northern Iraq. Earlier this year, it also launched a weeklong ground offensive there.

The warplanes attacked rebel targets late Wednesday in the Zab region, near the Turkish border, the military said in a statement posted on its Web site.

The military said it was trying to determine whether there had been rebel casualties. There was no immediate comment from the rebel group.
