Suspect in the Istanbul bombing killed in Syria

 


According to Turkey's state-run news agency, Turkish forces killed the alleged mastermind of a devastating street explosion in Istanbul during an operation in northern Syria.

Halil Menci, who was involved in the operation, was "neutralised" by Turkish intelligence officers, the agency claimed without elaborating. According to HaberTurk television, the incident happened on February 22 in the town of Qamishli.

Six people were killed in the bombing on November 13 in Istanbul's busy Istiklal Boulevard, including two toddlers. Almost 80 other people suffered injuries.

The illegal Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, and associated Syrian Kurdish factions were given culpability for the attack by Turkish authorities. The militant Kurds have denied any involvement.

In relation to the attack, at least 17 people have been placed in detention pending trial, including a Syrian lady who is charged with planting the bomb on Istiklal Avenue that contained TNT. At the time, authorities said that the attack's mastermind had departed Turkey for Syria.

Since 1984, the PKK has waged an armed conflict in Turkiye. Since then, tens of thousands of people have died in the fight.

Since 2016, Turkiye has conducted three significant incursions into Syria with the aim of destroying the country's main Kurdish force. It also controls a large portion of Syrian territory along their shared border.

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment.
