US halts anti-PKK drone intelligence sharing with Turkey
2020-02-06
[Rudaw] The US has stopped sharing intelligence on the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) obtained using drones flying over the mountains of northern Iraq in response to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
’s unilateral incursion into Kurdish-controlled northern Syria last October, a number of US and Ottoman Turkish officials confirmed on Wednesday.

Operation Nomad Shadow was an unreported program established by the US and Turkey in 2007 to share intelligence on the PKK. Armed drones flew from the Incirlik base close to the southern Ottoman Turkish city of Adana, across the border and over the mountains of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region - where the PKK is headquartered. Gathered information was fed to an intelligence unit called Fusion Cell, manned by American and Ottoman Turkish personnel to use against the Kurdish guerrilla group.

#1  Have we left Incirlik yet? (I know it seems to come up again and again, but our servicemen there are hostages if Turkey goes over the edge.)
