Turkish troops kill 10 rebels, suffer 2 losses
Turkey's state-run television says 10 Kurdish rebels and two Turkish soldiers have died in a clash in the country's southeast.       

TRT television says Tuesday the troops, reinforced from the air with helicopter gunships, attacked the rebels along the Iraqi border in an area close to the town of Uludere in Sirnak province on Thursday night. It says four soldiers were also wounded in the clash.       

The violence comes just before the 13th anniversary of the capture of Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan on Feb. 15  a day often marked by attacks or protests by rebels from the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.

On Monday, nearly 200 suspected Kurdish rebel supporters were arrested, while Turkish warplanes attached Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq on Sunday.
