Washington Post: "The PKK/KONGRA-GEL is falling apart"

"We were living on the mountain without any hope," said one militant who fled the group. The daily also noted, however, how the terrorist group had conducted a number of attacks in Turkey this summer. "Iraqi forces have too many things on their plate" to fight in the Kandil range, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, a Kurd, told the Post, adding, however, "The new Iraq definitely will not tolerate the presence of armed foreign militias on its territory."
