Turkish troops withdraw from Iraq: Kurdish government

ARBIL, Iraq (Reuters) - Turkish troops withdrew from northern Iraq less than 24 hours after a limited incursion targeting Kurdish separatist fighters, the semi-autonomous government of Iraq's Kurdish northern region said on Tuesday.

"The Turkish force that entered today is no longer there and has withdrawn to the Turkish territories," Fouad Hussein, chief of staff of Kurdish President Masoud Barzani, told Reuters.
