BAGHDAD, Dec 17, 2007 (AFP) — Iraq's parliament on Monday strongly condemned Turkish air strikes inside northern Iraq, saying it was a "cruel attack" on Iraq's sovereignty.

"We strongly condemn this cruel attack on Iraqi sovereignty and on the principle of friendly neighbourhood," the parliament said in a statement.

It said the bombings resulted in "several innocent civilian casualties," but gave no further details of victims.
