Key FactsTurkish Intelligence Eliminates Top PKK Figure in Sulaymaniyah
Mar 19, 2024 · Reading time: ~30 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: dailysabah.com
  • Rojda Bilen, codenamed "Bişeng Brüsk," was eliminated in an operation by Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. Bilen was a high-ranking member of the PKK and headed all female terrorists in the group's so-called "youth branch."

  • The PKK finds support in Sulaymaniyah through a local political party in northern Iraq, posing a risk of the terrorist group's violent campaigns spilling over to the region.

  • The PKK seeks to legitimize its presence in rural areas of Sulaymaniyah by intimidating the local population, setting up "checkpoints," and engaging in extortion. This hinders infrastructure improvements and local farmers' access to their lands.

  • In Sulaymaniyah governed by the PUK, the PKK runs rampant with terrorism campaigns, including arson attacks on offices of opposing political parties, public buildings, and fields. The PUK's collaboration with the PKK extends to building a strategic connection with the YPG, the terrorist group's Syrian wing.
