<snip>STANBUL, Oct. 24 — Turkish warplanes joined Sikorsky and Cobra military helicopters in southeastern Turkey today in attacks on the broad mountainous passes that Kurdish separatist rebels use to travel from hide-outs in Northern Iraq into Turkey, the state-run Anatolian News Agency reported, without explicitly stating whether or how far they flew inside Iraqi territory.

The attacks are the first time that Turkish warplanes have been employed in assaults against the Kurdish rebels since the fall of the Saddam regime in Iraq. The report did not disclose the number of aircraft involved. Some unconfirmed media reports said the Turkish aircraft had flown into Iraqi territory.
