Iraq Kurdish Impasse Persists Under Fresh Army Drive
Nicosia AP reports the Iraqi army’s renewed push against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq remains inconclusive. Kurds led by Barzani say highlands still hold, with government forces controlling foothills around Mosul Erbil and Suleimaniya while tanks and air power dominate plains. The April campaign, the most determined yet, totalled about 60,000 troops, with heavier casualties on both sides. Barzani seeks autonomy and more than 100 million dollars annually from oil revenues, much from Kirkuk.
