Turkish airstrikes hit rebel targets after 37 die in suicide car-bombing

Turkey's Air Force hit Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq on Monday, hours after a suicide car-bombing in the Turkish capital killed 37 people.

Nine F-16s and two F-4 jets raided 18 positions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, in northern Iraq, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported. Targets hit consisted of ammunition depots, bunkers and shelters.

Meanwhile, police carried out raids in the southern city of Adana, detaining suspected PKK rebels, the agency reported. The private Dogan news agency said at least 36 suspects were taken into custody. Fifteen suspected Kurdish militants were also detained in Istanbul, Anadolu said.
