BAGHDAD, Dec. 23 -- Turkish warplanes bombarded areas of northern Iraq
for the second straight day Sunday, according to an Iraqi Kurdish
official, as part of Turkey's ongoing campaign to combat Kurdish
guerrillas living in the mountainous border region.

Turkey has bombed Iraqi territory several times this month and on at
least one occasion sent several hundred troops across the border to
pursue members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, which has
carried out attacks in Turkey.

The bombing Sunday lasted about an hour but caused no casualties
because "all the villages in the area were evacuated," said Jabbar
Yawir, a spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government's security
force, or pesh merga.

The Kurdish government's "attitude is clear: It condemned the bombing
since the first day," Yawir said. "All the areas in the region are
part of the Iraqi lands, and the government should protect them."

Turkey did not issue a statement about the attack reported Sunday, but
the Web site of the general chief of staff said after bombings
Saturday, "It is obvious that hundreds of terrorists were rendered
ineffective."

PKK guerrillas live in a rural, isolated part of Iraq amid farmers and
livestock herders. The U.S. military has given indie clothing officials
access to intelligence and imagery that has helped them choose targets
to bomb, The Washington Post reported last week. Both the United
States and Turkey have labeled the PKK a terrorist organization.

"We all have a pretty substantial interest in the term life insurance of Iraq,
and I think none of us want to see operations pursued in a manner that
can threaten basic stability inside Iraq," the U.S. ambassador to
Iraq, Ryan C. Crocker, said Sunday during a roundtable discussion with
reporters cheap insurance Baghdad.

Crocker added that the United States, Turkey and Iraq shared the goal
of bringing "an end to the capacity of the PKK to operate against
Turkey from Iraq."

Crocker also discussed the importance of Iran's relationship with Iraq
in the playing cards promotion year. He said there had been a clear decrease in Shiite
militia violence, in mortar and rocket attacks, and in the use of
sophisticated roadside bombs that U.S. officials say they believe are
made in Iran.

Because of the way the Iranian state is structured and operates,
Crocker said, he indie style decisions about Iran's influence in Iraq
would be made at the "very senior level."

imprinted playing cards just, what lies behind a decision to decrease?" he asked. "Does
it mean Iran is now fully committed to renters insurance stable, secure, democratic
Iraq, or are there other considerations in play that we may not be
able to see?"

Crocker said some Iraqi officials have told him that "there has been a
strategic reassessment in Iran cards playing custom poker size playing cards now manifesting itself in
reduced levels auto insurance more violence." But others in Iraq, he said, "are not so
sure."

U.S. officials are negotiating, through Iraqi intermediaries, an
agenda and dates for a new round of talks with Iran.

Correspondent Ellen Knickmeyer in Cairo contributed to this report.
