Istanbul bomb suspect killed in operation in Syria: Report
[AlAhram] Ottoman Turkish forces have killed the alleged criminal mastermind behind a deadly Istanbul street bombing in an operation in northern Syria, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

’s state-run news agency
...and if you can't trust the state-run news agency who can you believe?...
reported on Friday.


The man, identified as Halil Menci, was "neutralized" on Wednesday in an operation by the Ottoman Turkish intelligence agency near the northern town of Qamishli, the Anadolu Agency reported.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
by a Ottoman Turkish drone on Wednesday killed a civilian and maimed a local Kurdish police commander. The drone attack occurred on a road linking Qamishli with the village Qahtaniya, it said.

Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Observatory said the civilian who was killed in the strike was known to smuggle people to Turkey. The man had, however, denied accusations by Ottoman Turkish authorities that he smuggled into Turkey Ahlam Albashir, a Syrian woman who is accused of carrying out the attack.

The Nov. 13 kaboom in Istanbul’s bustling Istiklal Avenue left six people dead, including two children. More than 80 others were maimed.

Ottoman Turkish authorities blamed the attack on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, as well as Syrian Kurdish groups affiliated with it. The Kurdish turbans have denied involvement.

At least 17 suspects have been tossed in the clink

pending trial in connection with the attack, including Albashir who is accused of leaving the TNT-laden bomb on Istiklal Avenue. Officials said at the time that the attack’s planner had fled Turkey for Syria.

The PKK has fought an armed insurgency in Turkey since 1984. The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people since then.

Turkey has launched three major incursions inside Syria targeting Syria’s main Kurdish militia since 2016 and controls a swath of Syrian territory along their joint border.
