Yesterday's Sabah daily spotlights continuing details emerging following the arrest of 11 people in the "Atabey Guerillas," a group discovered during a Tuesday night raid in Ankara.

Funerals for four Turkish soldiers killed in clashes with PKK members on Friday were covered in yesterday's Vatan, which noted the extra pain felt by families that would have normally been celebrating Mother's Day but instead were burying their sons.

Ferai Tınç wrote yesterday about the threat posed by the PKK in northern Iraq not only to Turkey and Iran, but also to Baghdad itself. She says, "The increase in terror moves against Turkey and Iran from the PKK in northern Iraq, during a period when that region is trying to pull itself together, underscores the mistakes that have been made in northern Iraqi calculations up until today."

The tough anti-PKK (outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party) statements made this week by Turkey-EU Joint Parliamentary Commission Co-chairman Joost Lagendijk provide the basis for the theme of yesterday's column by Sabah daily's Fatih Altaylı: that the PKK is finally receiving the bad press it deserves across the EU.
