 Kiev (AFP) Oct 21, 2007
 Turkey's Defence Minister Vecdi Gonul said here Sunday there were "no hostages" being held by Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq, denying reports from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

"There are no hostages," Gonul told the press after meeting in the Ukrainian capital with US Defence Secretary Robert Gates.

The PKK, considered a terrorist organisation by Ankara and much of the international community, claimed Sunday to have captured a group of Turkish soldiers in the volatile region on the Turkey-Iraq border following heavy clashes between the two sides.
