ANKARA, July 2, 2012 (AFP) — Turkish warplanes have struck three locations in northern Iraq, believed to be rebel hideouts, the army said in a statement Monday.

The army command said it hit "three shelters belonging to the separatist terrorist organisation," referring to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) rebels, after exploratory flights located the hideouts on June 26-30.
