Reaction in Iraq and Turkey to PKK operation - 26 Feb 08

The Turkish incursion into northern Iraq is entering its sixth day amid claims and counter-claims of violence. The Turkish military says it's killed more than 150 Kurdish rebels since crossing the border on Thurday. But the PKK rejects the casualty figures and has warned Turkey it has entered a conflict it cannot win. Many of Turkey's Kurds are also growing increasingly frustrated. Our correspondent, Hoda Abdel Hamid, went to the southeastern town of Diyarbakir where she found growing support for the PKK. But first, James Bays is on the Iraqi side of the border where he was given exclusive access to a town caught in the middle of the conflict.
