A military statement said the attack killed several guerrillas and destroyed a shelter in the Qandil mountain region on the Iran-Iraq border, where the leadership of the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, is believed to be based. Ankara says the rebels use bases in Iraq for terrorist attacks inside Turkey. The air strikes followed two bomb blasts in Istanbul at the weekend, which killed 17 people and wounded about 150 others. Turkish officials blamed the PKK for the blasts, a charge which the rebels deny. The PKK, which is fighting for an independent Kurdish homeland, is listed as a terrorist group by Ankara, the European Union and the US.
