PKK urges civilians to evacuate
(Aso)
A PKK official has told Aso that Turkey is planning
to attack its bases in Qandil and has asked
civilians to evacuate the area. Azad Wasu Hassan,
the head of Zharawa town, said the PKK had on
several occasions spread such news and frightened
people, "We don't say there is no danger, but the
PKK want to entrench themselves in this area.
" Two wings of the PKK have urged the Kurdish people
and their political parties to take a stand against
Turkish and Iranian artillery shelling Iraqi Kurdish
border areas.

discovered that Hassan had been detained without an
order from a judge.
The prisoner's family are taking legal action
against the authorities over his death in custody.

Maliki: no civil war in Iraq
(Al-Mada)
Prime Minister Maliki said that Iraq would not slip
into civil war because its people are strongly
united. In a meeting with tribal leaders and clerics
in Mosul, he urged local authority leaders to
identify rebuilding projects that needed government
funds, so as to boost reconstruction efforts and
eliminate unemployment.
