[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] ![]() ’s intelligence agency has "neutralized" the criminal mastermind of a 2016 suicide truck bombing that killed 12 coppers, the official Anadolu news agency reported on Monday. The outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), listed as a terror group by Turkey and its Western allies, claimed the attack on a police building in the southeastern city of Cizre, which also maimed 75 other coppers and civilians.
Turkey released no details about the operation, or say where it was staged. Cizre, a majority Kurdish town near Turkey’s border with Syria and Iraq, was badly hit by violence after a 2015 ceasefire between the PKK and government forces collapsed. | |
