http://www.euronews.net/ Turkey's military is investigating reports that its warplanes killed at least 35 Kurdish villagers, mistaking them for PKK rebels.

An air-strike has been blamed for the deaths by local officials in the mainly Kurdish southeast of the country.

Bodies were taken to the village of Ortasu near the Iraqi border for identification. It is claimed victims may, in fact, have been smuggling fuel and sugar from Iraq when they came under fire.
