Explosion Hits Iran Turkey Gas Line

Turkey has stated that the Kurdish Labor Party is responsible for an explosion in the southeast of the country.

The explosion put a massive hole into a pipeline that supplies natural gas from Iran.

This marks the third time, this year, that natural gas pipelines have been hit, though both the others occurred on pipelines from Azerbaijan.

Georgian and Azerbaijani troops had joined Turkish ones in adding security to the pipelines. Apparently they were doing quite well at it, as the PKK had to move further south.

The PKK has been working for decades to form it's own country, Kurdistan, in parts of Turkey, Iran, and Iraq.
