Turkish troops in Northern Iraq?

My knowledge of Turkish media is very slight, so treat this with some skepticism.

Some 200 Turkish soldiers accompanied by village guards crossed the border into northern Iraq in a military operation against Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants, an Iraqi Kurdish media source reported on Thursday......

"At 3 p.m. on Wednesday we were informed that about 200 Turkish soldiers and some village rangers encroached 2 kilometers inside the border. Several hours later, they withdrew to the Turkish border," he said without giving further detail......

Turkish officials on Friday declined to comment on the incident but one told The New Anatolian that nothing extraordinary had occurred on the Iraq border and that the incident could have been a regular "hot pursuit" operation.
