Turkey buries 15 soldiers slain in rebel attack.Vows Harsh Response.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Tens of thousands of Turks in cities across Turkey attended the funerals Sunday of 15 soldiers slain in a Kurdish rebel attack.
Turkey has vowed an all-out fight against the rebels following the killing Friday of the soldiers in a raid near the Iraqi border. Twenty soldiers were wounded and two more were missing, the government said.
Dozens of protesters gathered outside Parliament early Sunday chanting, "Down with the PKK."
Since the attack, Turkish troops have killed at least 23 rebels in southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq in the deadliest battle in eight months. The rebels belonged to the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, which has been fighting for autonomy in Turkey's southeast since 1984.
Turkey's civilian leaders vowed to respond harshly.
"Whatever the cost, the fight will go on full force," President Abdullah Gul said in televised address Saturday.More
