In a statement on a Kurdish website, the militants said they captured eight Turkish soldiers, but the claim could not be substantiated.

EDIT:since mods wont let me on the other post
at the end is a refence I think that Kurdish regional gov't (along with kurd rebels) and Turkey are going to have "physical" disagreements.

What the hell?!
Never go on the offensive in these situations. You put your people in grave danger. Extremists always show dire disrespect for the life of the people they allegedly represent.

Jeez, they're practically inviting the Turkish army to cross the border in retaliation. If nothing else that should make clear to the government that it's probably not the best of plans...
Turkey should stop playing with reberls and show them that Turkey is one of the strongest country into Middle East area.

Ah, the old brute force method.
That would be a horrible idea IMHO.

We would have to be privy to the combat reports of both sides (if they're taken) to gain an accurate understanding of whether these troops were in a position to resist or not.
It is very common in these situations that fear and uncertainty get the best of reality and unnecessary capitulation results.

Considering the formulation of what the Justice minister said, if he was in charge, we would probably would have a reuse of the word Hiwi in the area.
As he's not accusing them to surrender too easily, but to surrender at all...
