    ``The area is completely surrounded by security troops. The
PKK has received a very severe blow,'' Anatolian quoted an
official as saying.
    ``The raiding helicopters have very sophisticated systems.
They take recordings of the targets they hit and destroy. We are
basing our estimates on such data.''
    Officials said they expected the raid to continue unless
weather conditions turned bad. Up to three metres (yards) of snow
in the area kept troops from entering the camp, they said.
    About 5,300 people have died in Turkey since 1984 when the PKK
launched a violent campaign for an independent state in the
southeast.
