The US military said that the commander of US forces in Iraq, General Ray Odierno, has met a senior military official in Turkey to discuss Kurdish rebels launching attacks into Turkey from northern Iraq.

The military said that the meeting will be next Friday with General Hasan Igsiz, deputy chief of the Turkish General Staff, “centred on US forces’ on-going assistance to Turkey in its effort to defeat the Kurdish rebel group known as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK,”

Turkey has launched air strikes and other attacks in recent weeks in the most recent twist of its long campaign to crush the PKK rebels, who have carried out cross-border attacks from camps in remote mountain areas of Iraq near the Turkish border.
