The nine YPG/PKK terrorists who have been rounded up in Syria's Afrin for martyring two Turkish soldiers, appeared before a court on Tuesday, a security source said.
The terrorists were caught in a joint operation by the Turkish National Intelligence Service (MIT) and the Turkish gendarmerie forces in Syria's Afrin city and they were brought back to Turkey last Friday.
They were involved in the January 23 terrorist attack in Rajo area of Afrin that martyred Lt. Oguz Kaan Usta and Specialist Sergeant Mehmet Muratdagi during Turkey's Operation Olive Branch in northern Syria.
The terrorists had taken away with them the body of the lieutenant which could only be found after 58 days.
On Jan. 20, Turkey launched Operation Olive Branch to remove YPG/PKK and Daesh terrorists from Afrin. On March 18, Turkish troops and the Free Syrian Army liberated the Afrin district center. -
