ARBIL, Iraq, April 25 (Reuters) - A spokesman for PKK Kurdish guerrillas said nobody was hurt when Turkish warplanes bombed northern Iraq on Friday.

The spokesman, Ahmed Danees, said about eight Turkish warplanes flew overhead for about an hour and a half and bombarded areas in northern Iraq near the Turkish border.

"We have fighters in the area but they are not concentrated in a single place. This is why we do not have any casualties," Danees told Reuters by telephone in northern Iraq. (Reporting by Shamal Aqrawi; writing by Peter Graff in Baghdad)
