WASHINGTON (AP) - Turkey gave the United States and Iraqi authorities advance notice of its incursion across the border into Iraq in pursuit of separatist Kurdish rebels, White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said Friday.
"We were notified and we urged the Turkish government to limit their operations to precise targeting of the PKK — to limit the scope and duration of their operations — and we urged them to work, directly, with Iraqis, including Kurdish government officials, on how best to address the threat," Stanzel told reporters.
The separatist Kurdish Workers Party is known as the PKK.
