Turkish army says soldier killed in northern Iraq

Turkey's military said on Saturday one of its soldiers was killed, and another wounded, in northern Iraq after rockets fired by Islamic State during clashes with Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga landed in a base where Turkish troops were deployed.
"Islamic State targets identified in the region have been shot back at," the army said in a statement on its web site, adding the wounded soldier was transferred to a hospital in Turkey's southeastern province of Sirnak.
