The rebels attacked a military unit based near the Turkish town of Kusekova with heavy weapons Sunday, Oct. 21. Another 14 soldiers were injured in Kurdish PKK ambush of their minibus. DEBKAfile adds: the attacks and sweeping parliamentary approval for a military offensive against Kurdish rebel hideouts in northern Iraq four days ago will make it hard for Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to continue to hold the army back from a large-scale cross-border incursion. Iraqi Kurds vow Sunday to fight off any Turkish incursion.
