Compiled From Wire Services

Turkey’s cross-border offensive against Kurdish separatists in northern Iraq has killed 902 Kurdish guerrillas in four days, the official Anatolia news agency said Saturday.

A spokesman for a Brussels-based, pro-rebel television station disputed the casualty figures, although he would not say how many rebels had died.

“It’s a huge lie. … It is impossible to inflict such a great loss on guerrilla fighters,” Irfan Dogan of MED-TV said.
