Kurdish Media

Kurdish rebels based in the rugged mountains along Iraq's northeastern border with Iran told Newsmax in exclusive interviews at secret guerilla bases that they have killed 200 Iranian Revolutionary Guards troops during clashes over the past two months.

Guerilla leaders of the Party of the Free Life of Kurdistan, PJAK, said they have clashed with Iranian forces 21 times during this time.

Iran has not admitted to the losses.

The intense fighting began on Aug. 16, when Iran and Turkey began jointly shelling villages inside Iraq where rebels from those countries have their bases.

Both Iran and Turkey are currently massing troops on their sides of the border with Iraq, in preparation for a ground and airborne assault on the rebel bases inside Iraq, according to published reports and information from local sources.



The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

I think sites like NewsMax warrant their own macro - insane right-wing US pseudo media, or something like that.
