Turkish strike in Iraq kills six Kurdish security forces
Lieutenant General Jabbar Yawar
Sulaimaniyah - Arab Today
A Turkish air strike targeting local armed groups in northern Iraq killed six members of Kurdish security forces in an apparent accident on Tuesday, a senior official said.
"Six people were martyred, five from the peshmerga and the sixth from asayish," Lieutenant General Jabbar Yawar, secretary general of the peshmerga ministry in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish government, told AFP.
The peshmerga are the Kurdish Regional Government's armed forces and the asayish its intelligence service.
Yawar and other officials said the overnight strike apparently targeted a Yazidi militia allied with Turkey's Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) which Ankara, a key ally of the Iraqi Kurdish government, considers a terrorist organisation.
