[Al Ahram] The Turkish military has ordered the dishonourable discharge of a soldier who was briefly kidnapped in January by Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Ozgur Ors, a non-commissioned officer, went missing during an army operation against smugglers but then was rescued by a mission coordinated by

A probe was then opened against the soldier over his conduct. But the full details of the case have been kept tightly under wraps and it has never been made fully clear how he violated military rules with his behaviour.
Ors was dismissed for "failure to resist ISIS, being an instrument for the organization's propaganda in the media and harming the reputation of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK)," the Hurriyet newspaper reported, using a variant abbreviation for IS.
It said the order was issued by an army disciplinary board earlier this week.
The Turkish military had in March launched disciplinary proceedings against the soldier for failing to resist the IS fighters.
The soldier went missing after he crossed the border into Syria on January 1 from the southeastern Turkish province of Kilis in an operation to capture a group of smugglers.
Media speculated that he might have been kidnapped by IS forces of Evil -- a claim which was confirmed neither by the government nor the army at the time.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announced on January 5 that the soldier was brought back home after a "successful operation" carried out by the Turkish spy agency the National Intelligence Organisation (MIT), without providing further details.
