SULAIMANIYA, Iraq, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Turkish war planes bombed Kurdish separatist positions in northern Iraq on Monday, but no civilians were hurt because the area was unpopulated, the head of Iraq's border guards in Dahuk told Reuters. PKK Kurdish separatist fighters use remote parts of northern Iraq's largely autonomous Kurdistan region as a base for launching attacks in southeastern Turkey. Turkish forces frequently retaliate with air strikes and artillery shells. Head of the Dahuk border guards Colonel Hussein Tamor said he did not know about any rebel casualties.
