PKK terrorists nabbed in Iraq brought to Turkey

ANKARA

At least four PKK terrorists were brought to Turkey from northern Iraq after they were nabbed in an operation, security sources said Monday.

The terrorists were transferred to Turkey on Thursday, the sources said speaking on condition of anonymity due to restriction on speaking to the media.

The terrorists identified as V.K. (34), M.K. (21), A.O. (20) and K.I. (16) were operating in Syria and Iraq, the source said.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women and children.
