The MIT neutralized Mahmut Ağca, the so-called intelligence chief of the PKK/YPG in Ayn El Arab, in Syria.
ADDED TO THE PRIORITY TARGET LIST
The MIT has added Mahmut Ağca, codenamed 'Azad', who has organized numerous terrorist actions in Turkey since 2015, resulting in the martyrdom of many soldiers and police officers, to the priority list of targets to be neutralized. Thanks to its intelligence network, the MIT determined that the PKK/YPG terrorist Ağca was in Ayn El Arab. Believing he was safe because he managed his organization’s personnel and actions remotely, Mahmut Ağca was neutralized during a pinpoint operation while he was having an organizational meeting in a house.
