Report: 3 hurt in terrorist mortar attack in Turkey

19 July 2009 / TODAY'S ZAMAN WITH AP, ANKARA
Turkey's state-run news agency says three people, including a soldier, were wounded when terrorists fired a mortar round from Iraqi territory.

The Anatolia news agency said Sunday that the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants based in northern Iraq fired on a battalion in Hakkari province, which borders Iraq. The attack occurred late Saturday.

Turkey has been fighting with the terrorists in the region since 1984. Tens of thousands of people have been killed since then.

The terrorists frequently launch attacks from bases in northern Iraq.
