I miss the Bangy Bangy and shooty shooty posts - Residents in local villages heard loud bangs, that would be the Syrians bombing refugees.

I dont think the PKK would do any such thing the statement is false.

Well Dan, it becomes immaterial when everybody in the region is either a terrorist or a freedom fighter...

I put some info about this in my yemen missile thread, the PKK took responsibility, it was apparently a 30 year old woman who used a suicide bomb and they claimed 30 turkish soldiers killed.

There are so many conflicts simmering away around the world right now there's plenty scope for more shooty shooty posts :)
