Turkish military helicopters bombed villages in northern Iraq
in strikes directed against Kurdish rebels, two Turkish television
channels reported on Tuesday.
CNN Turk television, quoting Iraqi officials, said the villages
were empty and no one was killed in the attack.
The reports could not be immediately confirmed.
Turkey has massed up to 100,000 troops along its border with

Iraq had been bombed, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said:

against the militants in Iraq, but did not say when.
