Turkish offensive in Iraq over: report

ANKARA, Feb 29, 2008 (AFP) - Turkey's week-old ground offensive against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq ended at midnight, the NTV news channel reported Friday.

There was no immediate official confirmation of the NTV report.

The troops have already begun returning home and many empty military vehicles were seen passing through the Turkish border town of Cukurca, heading towards northern Iraq, the channel said.

Turkish warplanes bombed positions of the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in northern Iraq overnight, but the situation was quiet on the ground Friday morning, it added.
