Turkish strike kills three civilians at Iraq refugee camp - Punch Newspapers

Three civilians were killed Saturday in a Turkish drone attack on a refugee camp in northern Iraq in an area which Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently threatened to “clean up”.

Kurdish lawmaker Rashad Galali said Turkey’s drone strike hit a playground “near a school” in the UN-supported Makhmur camp set up in the late 1990s to house Kurdish refugees from Turkey. “The issue of Makhmur is as important to us as Qandil… because Makhmur has become the incubator of Qandil… and if we don’t intervene the incubator will continue producing ,” he said.

The PKK has waged a rebellion in the mainly Kurdish southeast of Turkey since 1984 that has claimed more than 40,000 lives, and uses bases in Iraq to train fighters and launch attacks on Turkey. The People’s Defence Forces, the armed wing of the PKK, accused the peshmerga of entering “a conflict zone in Matin” between it and Turkey “which wants to occupy Iraqi Kurdistan”.

But Iraqi expert Adel Bakawan of the iReMMO institute for Mideast studies said he did not expect Saturday’s incident to be the precursor for a new Turkish operation in Iraq.
