ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's military ground offensive against Kurdish PKK rebels in northern Iraq is planned to last 15 days, private broadcaster CNN Turk quoted security sources as saying on Friday.
Earlier, the military General Staff and Turkey's political leaders said the troops would return home as soon as they had accomplished their mission against the PKK, but they gave no timeframe.
