	ANKARA, Turkey (UPI) -- More than 150 people were killed in
southeastern Turkey in one of the largest military operations ever
launched against Kurdish separatist guerrillas, Turkish military and
civilian officials said Wednesday.
	The attack was in retaliation for a rocket and mortar raid Tuesday by
about 500 Kurdish guerrillas on two Turkish outposts at Derecik and
Samanlik near the Iraqi border, officials said.
	Turkish Prime Minister Suleyman Demirel told his party's group
meeting Wednesday that 124 Kurdish separatist militants were killed in
Tuesday's military operation.
	He said 26 soldiers, five civilians and three village guards also
were killed in the clashes near Hekkari province about 600 miles
southeast of the Turkish capital Ankara.
	According to military sources, special teams of Turkish mountain
commando units and other troops were dispatched to the scene of the
rebel raid as soon as news of the attack reached the military chief at
Hakkari.
	Later Turkish fighterjets and Cobra and Sikorsky helicopters arrived
in the area and blasted guerrilla positions, they said.
	Independent sources said that Turkish troops and jets pursued the
rebels at least 3 miles inside Iraqi territory.
	Turkish fighterjets and troops have made more than 20 incursions into
northern Iraq during the past few months alleging that the outlawed
separatist Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) was training its guerrillas in
the region.
	Turkish officials blame a breakdown in Iraqi authority for the
apparent ease with which Kurdish guerrillas have been able to move
across the borders.
	Emergency Law Gov. Unal Erken said the Kurdish death toll could be
higher on the Iraqi side of the border because retreating rebels may
have been carrying bodies with them.
	Tuesday's operation was one of the biggest since the PKK launched its
separatist campaign in 1984 to set up an independent state for Turkey's
10 million Kurds.
	About 5,000 people have lost their lives in separatist violence in
southeastern Turkey since then.
