According to security sources, Turkish intelligence forces have “neutralised” a senior PKK terrorist in northern Iraq.
According to sources on Wednesday, who requested anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media, Fatma Onur, code-named Kinda Maras, was the target of an operation carried out in the Sinjar region by Türkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT).
The term “neutralise” is used by Turkish authorities to imply that the terrorists in question surrendered, were killed, or were captured.
According to the sources, Onur was a so-called senior member of the terror group’s intelligence wing. She joined the group in the 1990s from the UK.

Coming down hard on terrorists
Turkey’s air campaign against terrorists in northern Iraq and Syria is “just the beginning,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated last week, adding that the country will launch a ground operation in Syria “when convenient.”
Erdogan stated, “Our operations with aircraft, artillery, and UCAVs (unmanned combat aerial vehicles) are just the beginning.”
Erdogan added, “We will come down hard on the terrorists with a land operation at the best time.”
Dynamic in both Iraq and Syria, she assumed a part in numerous fear-based oppressor acts against security powers, particularly in the Sulaymaniyah locale and provincial areas of Iraq.
More than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants, have been killed in the PKK’s more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye. The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the United States, and the European Union.
