Turkish intelligence "neutralized" a senior PKK terrorist who was in charge of the group's drug and money laundering activities in northern Iraq, security sources said.
Yadin Bulut, code-named Rizgar Suvar, joined the terror organization in 2015 and continued his activities in Qandil and Hakurk-Avashin regions, said the sources who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
Turkish authorities use the term "neutralize" to imply that the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and EU — has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
