Kurdish separatist fighters have attacked a police station in Turkey, killing five police officers and wounding nine in a clash in which three rebels were also killed, security sources said.

They said Saturday's assault took place in the southeastern province of Siirt and fighting continued late into Saturday night.
The attack comes at a time of heightened tension between the armed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Turkish military, which has launched air strikes and artillery barrages against suspected PKK bases in northern Iraq in retaliation for a spate of militant attacks inside Turkey.

I guess we haven't done such a good job securing Iraq, if the PKK is using at a staging area.

I thought we were turning Iraq over to it's own military (reason for reduction in force in Iraq) ..... shouldn't they be held responsible for letting these cells dig in again.
