I believe this was a preemptive strike by PKK realizing that an incursion by Turkey into Northern Iraq was imminent evident by the Turkish Army's recent military maneuver near Iraq. A new cycle of bloodshed has now begun.

The PKK needs our support now. It's the only way to get this mad dog under control.

When they were massacuring the GCs it was fine and dandy, now the shoe is on the other foot.

Apparently, they are getting plenty of support from Israel in the form of arms, intelligence (Mossad), and even some Isreali Defence Force Officers on the ground leading some of their operations..... :lol:

Israel is out to punish, and perhaps Partition of Turkey is not too far from their mind. :wink:
