Date: 2007-06-06 (Wednesday)
In Turkey, three provinces along the Iraqi border were declared "security zones," a measure that is tantamount to declaring a state of emergency.

The three provinces, Hakkari, Siirt and Sirnak, also happen to be the regions where the military buildup has been taking place in recent weeks, and from which an invasion into northern Iraq would be launched.
