Deliberate escalation

PRESS DIGEST - Turkey - Oct 22
These are the leading stories in the Turkish press on Monday. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
Kurd raid fuels rage in Turkey
Kurdish rebels attack Turkish army patrol


You might be asking yourself who's orchestrating the escalation of this crisis, and why exactly now. After all, the Kurds have Northern Iraq. It seems it's against their interests to attack Turkey right now, especially in the light of the strained diplomatic relations between Turkey and US, which makes things even more complicated for the Kurds. Then, who? And why?

Al Qaeda, you'd say. But the truth is much more complicated.
