Iraq's Parliament condemned the bombing of suspected Kurdish rebel bases by Turkish jets and denounced the raid as an outrageous violation of Iraqi sovereignty.

As many as 50 Turkish fighter jets were involved in the airstrikes Dec. 16 in northern Iraq. An Iraqi official said the planes attacked several villages, killing one woman. The rebels said two civilians and five rebels died.

Turkey said the attack was aimed at the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, and that U.S. intelligence had been used in the bombing. The PKK has fought for autonomy for southeastern Turkey for over two decades and uses strongholds in northern Iraq for cross-border strikes.
