By: Shawn Snow, May 3, 2017

U.S. forces conducting patrols to deter aggression between Turkish forces and Kurdish elements of the Syrian Democratic Forces, both partners in the fight against the Islamic State, were photographed at a funeral April 29 where flags of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, a U.S.-designated terror group, could be seen in the crowd.

For more than 30 years, the PKK has been involved in an armed struggle against the Turkish government in an attempt to secure self-determination for Kurds in Turkey.
