Turkey, Iraq, U.S. to discuss how to combat PKK terrorists
(Reuters)Senior officials from Turkey, Iraq and the United States will meet in Ankara on Tuesday to discuss closer cooperation against Kurdish rebels who attack Turkey from bases in northern Iraq, a Turkish government official said. Turkey and Iraq will be represented by their interior ministers, said the official, who requested anonymity. It was not clear who would head the U.S. delegation. "It is going to be a meeting about intelligence sharing and the issue of the PKK will be taken up," said the official. The three countries have stepped up efforts to fight separatist rebels of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which is considered a terrorist organization by Washington, the European Union and Turkey.
