Kurd rebels tell Turkey to avoid "strategic mistake"

Abdul Rahman Chaderchi, a senior official of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), said a strike into northern Iraq would unite Kurds on either side of the border against Turkey and bring Turkish troops face-to-face with U.S. forces stationed in northern Iraq.
