Turkey neutralizes high-profile PKK member responsible for Iran terror attacks
The Turkish National Intelligence Organization, known as MIT, has neutralized a prominent member of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militant group during a counter-terrorism operation in Iraq’s northern semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.
Saliha Aybiyik, better known by the nom de guerre Nujiyan Amed, who was in charge of terror attacks in Iran, was targeted in an operation in the city of Sulaymaniyah.
She had been active in the terror outfit since 1993.
Turkish authorities use the term “neutralize” to imply that the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
PKK militants regularly clash with Turkish forces in the Kurdish-dominated southeast of Turkey attached to northern Iraq.
Turkey, along with the European Union and the United States, has declared the PKK a terrorist group and banned it. The militant group has been seeking an autonomous Kurdish region since 1984.
Turkish ground and air forces frequently carry out operations against PKK positions in the country as well as in northern Iraq and neighboring Syria.
More than 40,000 people have been killed during the three-decade conflict between Turkey and the autonomy-seeking militant group.
