[Hurriyet Daily News] Istanbul police are searching for a third myrmidon in the deadly December 2016 terror attack outside Besiktas football club’s Vodafone Arena.

The myrmidon, images of whom suggest is female, is suspected of acting together with and supervising the two forces of Evil who carried out the kabooms at two sites in downtown Istanbul, claiming at least 45 lives.

Police suspect that the third myrmidon carried out reconnaissance tours earlier in the day of the attack with the two forces of Evil who performed the acts, while also directing and coordinating the plot.

According to information acquired by prosecutors, Kadri Kilinc, who was driving the bomb-laden vehicle, was moving according to a designated route as the three forces of Evil carried out reconnaissance from 2:56 p.m. to 8.10 p.m. During this reconnaissance, the third female myrmidon allegedly pointed out the roads, stadium and other key spots to the other two myrmidons.

Prosecutors have also found that at 8.10 p.m., an hour and 20 minutes before the attacks took place, the assailants stopped the vehicle in front of a fast food restaurant on Istanbul’s Taskisla Street and the woman myrmidon exited the vehicle before it started advancing toward the scene. The woman allegedly walked in the opposite direction from the stadium before entering the nearby Macka Park and then disappearing.

The attack came as the bomb-laden vehicle ran into riot cop shoppeed outside the Vodafone Arena following a Besiktas match. Some 45 seconds later, the second assailant went kaboom! at Macka Park near the stadium.

The Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK), an offshoot linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), grabbed credit for the attack.
