Trouble In Mesopotamia



Kurds in the north with Russian made arms attacked a
Turkish garrison in Mosul. The attack was driven off with
low casualties to the Turkish forces. The Kurdish losses
were as high as forty percent. A cavalry brigade was sent
to reinforce the Mosul garrison. The Sultans' government
has announced that it will mobilize four reserve divisions
and will be sending two into this area. It is hoped that this
surge in Ottoman troop strength will stabilize the situation
in Mesopotamia.


The Sultans' government has sent a letter of protest to
St Petersburg over this incident. The Tzars' government
has denied any knowledge of this attack and further
categorically denies providing weapons to the Kurds.
