(Ankara) The twists and turns of the fighting that is taking place across Iraq and Syria took another unscheduled diversion today when Turkey carried out airstrikes on Kurdish troops fighting ISIS in both Iraq and Syria.
The Turks have excused the airstrikes by claiming to killed 40 terrorists in northern Iraq and 30 terrorists in
north-eastern Syria, "within the scope of the international law" in which to
prevent the terrorist group from sending terrorists, arms, ammunition, and
explosives to Turkey.
