Preliminary enquiries reveal there is nothing to
confirm the suggestion that Kurdish movement is developing
on any considerable scale on the Turkish-Iraqi
frontier or that tribal raiding from Iraq into Turkey
has been in any way unusual. No raids at all have
been noticed during the past three months except for
a few minor sheep-stealing incidents.
A few Persian/Kurds of minor importance it is
reported have been in touch with Sheik Mahmoud but if
they are plotting, it will be about the Persian
and not the Turkish border.
