Kurds attack Turkish troops, break 5-year truce

Uh oh, this isn't good:

Kurdish rebels attack Turkish troops, shattering truce

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- Kurdish guerrillas attacked Turkish troops in southeastern Turkey on Wednesday, a day after the rebels announced an end to a five-year unilateral truce, the Turkish news agency Anatolia reported.

The attack in the province of Tunceli shattered a fragile peace that had largely held despite sporadic clashes since 1999. The rebels opened fire on Turkish troops, wounding a noncommissioned officer near the town of Ovacik, and clashes were still under way, Anatolia said.
...
The rebel group said Tuesday it was ending the truce and warned foreigners and investors to avoid Turkey, saying that the government has failed to respond to their truce.
...
Turkish authorities have recently complained that the United States failed to act against the Kurdish rebels holed up in mountain bases in northern Iraq despite promises.

Sounds to me like the Kurds either see that there's a power vacuum, or they've gotten fresh info from somebody. I doubt we've got the forces on the ground to act against the Kurds in the north and I bet they know that too. If the Kurds still believe we destroyed Saddam to let them form an independent Kurdistan, this is just going to get worse.
