International delegations urged to visit site of alleged chemical attacks

INTERNATIONAL delegations were urged to visit the site of alleged chemical attacks by Turkish forces in Iraqi Kurdistan today, amid growing calls for world bodies to take firm action.

Guerilla fighters who survived what they believe were poisonous gases released in tunnels used by the Kurdish resistance said that traces of the substances deployed still remain.

Spokesman Mizgin Dalaho said that Turkish forces had not fired a single bullet as part of its military operations against Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) “war tunnels.”
