A top Kurdish PKK rebel commander has urged Kurds living in Turkish cities to rise up and fight the authorities in protest against Turkey's land offensive into northern Iraq.
"If they want to destroy us, our young people must make (Turkey's) cities uninhabitable," a senior PKK commander stated.
After sending ground forces in to Northern Iraq on Thursday, Turkey spent Saturday bombing suspected hideouts of PKK rebels in the Kurdish tribal areas of the mountainous border region between the two countries. Turkish officials are reporting 79 rebels and 7 soldiers killed since the fighting began on Thursday, though the PKK is claiming to have killed 15 Turkish troops.
Just what Iraq needs. More fighting.

Turkish forces thought the PKK had been crushed some time ago - but when the US invaded Iraq, the group began attacking Turkey from Kurdistan. US standing in Turkey is at an all-time low. Check out this pod for more info.
