Fuck!

Not good:

Kurdish rebels fired rockets and grenades at a Turkish military outpost Monday, killing seven soldiers in an attack that heightened tension at a time when Ankara has threatened military action against the rebels in northern Iraq.

The army sent helicopter gunships and reinforcements to Tunceli province in southeastern Turkey after guerrillas rammed a vehicle into the military post and opened fire with automatic weapons and rockets, local media reported.

Soldiers returned fire, killing the driver, the military said.


With the Turks already amassing on the border and the U.S. (yes, the U.S. of all countries) calling for "restraint" this becomes more and more of a powderkeg.

This seems a very difficult action for Turkey not to take at this moment. And if they do...
