Turkey pounds Kurdish camps after Ankara bombing


Turkish fighter jets hit arms depots and shelters of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the Kandil and Gara regions of northern Iraq.

Ankara (AFP) - Turkish warplanes pounded Kurdish rebel bases in northern Iraq Monday, the day after a suicide car bomb tore through downtown Ankara killing at least 36 people, the third attack on the capital in five months.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the latest carnage, which reduced cars and buses to charred hulks on a busy road in the heart of the city, wounding more than 120 people.
