Turkish jets kill 35 in airstrike after mistaking smugglers for terrorists

At least 35 people died in an air strike in Turkey after government jets apparently mistook smugglers for Kurdish militants, it was claimed today.

A pro-Kurdish party and local officials said Turkish jets strike militant targets regularly near the Iraqi border.

The strikes are being made in the battle against Kurdistan Workers Party guerrillas, and have stepped up raids after a PKK attack in August, it was claimed.
