"We are very sad because of yesterday's attack," said Ayetullah Balik, a resident of the border town of Sirnak, "Turks and Kurds are brother and sisters. We don't want these king of attacks to happen". Another resident, Nevzat Uysal said, "it's better we go to northern Iraq not to invade but to ruin PKK, and accomplish our aims". The Turkish government is under increasing pressure to stage a cross-border incursion into northern Iraq. Hours after the ambush, Turkey fired about 15 artillery shells towards Kurdish villages in the border area in northern Iraq but caused no casualties, an Iraqi army officer said. A spokesman for the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, also said a group of rebels killed and captured a number of Turkish forces during clashes about 70 kilometres (44 miles) inside Turkish territory. Iraq's president, a Kurd, ordered the rebels on Sunday to lay down their arms or leave Iraq. And Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's office has condemned the PKK attack as a "terrorist operation" and pledged to do everything he can to secure the release of the hostages.
