Turkey has sent more tanks into northern Iraq, reinforcing its military presence in the breakaway Kurdish-held region amidst concerns of a possible US-led war, the Milliyet daily reported.
In its Sunday edition, the paper published a grainy photograph on its front page, taken from atop a hill showing a number of armored vehicles, including at least ten tanks, which it claimed were at an airfield in Bamerni, around 40 kilometers from the Turkish border.
It added that there were "more than 30" tanks at the airport, and it quoted local residents as saying that Turkish troops had been in control of the airport for a long time. (Albawaba.com)
