Sources reported fresh bombings on Monday but the infonnalion could not be confinned. The operations coincided with two separate incidents in which 31 Kurdish civilians were kill~, A senior military officer, referring to the wee,kend stnke, said, "our forces have conducted necessary stnkes on two areas where the bandits had settled," but refused to elaborate. A representative for the Iraqi ~urd~ said n,ine peo~le, including ?ne woman, had been kIlled ~nTurkIsh shelling and air stnkes of Nerwa and Sanatt, saId to be around 12 miles inside the border, Sources around the border region told the Turkish Daily News on Monday that they could hear bombing on the other side of the border as of the early hours of the morning. local journalists in DiyarbakIr said the warplanes took off from that city as well as Malatya's Erhaç airport. One source said there was a buildup of annoured vehicles near Ihe çall~kan village of Silopi, immediatelyon the border. It was not clear whether a land operation would be launched. Safeen Dizayee, the Ankara representative of the (Iraqi) Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) said on Monday that contact had been made with Turkish officials and an explanation was expected for the weekend attack. Anka:a argues that the "targets" of the initial operation were camps used by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) that has been waging a violent anned campaign for self-rule for Turkish Kurds since 1984. More than 7,300 people have died in the contlict in the past nine years. "We accept that the PKK has :;mall mobile groups ofg_uerrillas that have moved back into the area," Dizayeesaid. He added; however, that "there are certainly no established PKK camps in the area under our control." A senior military source, asking not to be identified, said Turkey had warned the Iraqi Kurds several times against harboring PKK militants and had warned that if they failed to clear the border, Turkish forces would react. During the summer, Ankara sent a secret memorandum to Iraqi Kurdish leaders Jalal Talabani and Masoud Barzani, pointing out that the PKK was returning to the border region and creating "pockets" for use in cross-border attacks in Turkish territory. The Iraqi-Kurds have been tense over the pasttwo months, fearing this would be the pretext for new Turkish strikes.
