08 November 2012, Iraq has expelled the Turkish oil company, TPAO (aka Turkish Petroleum Corporation).

Iraqi government officials refuse to explain why at the moment, but could it have something to do with continued Turkish bombing of Iraq?

On 06 November, Turkish F-16 Vipers bombed northern Iraq, killing two people and wounding three.    Back on 02 October Iraq demanded U.S.-led NATO member Turkey stop its attacks.

Turkey claims it is targeting Kurdish insurgents.
