Turkish war jets strike 14 PKK militants in N Iraq

ANKARA- Anadolu Agency

Operation in the Zap region on April 28 neutralized militants who were hiding out in a cave, Col. Tamer Zincir told reporters in the capital Ankara.      

Turkish authorities often use the word "neutralized" in their statements to imply that the militants in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.     

A total of 154 militants have been neutralized since April 4 in operations against PKK militants in both Turkey and northern Iraq, Zincir said.     

PKK is listed as a terrorist group by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU.
