Turkey 'neutralizes' man behind deadly 2016 suicide attack on police

’s intelligence agency has "neutralized" the criminal mastermind of a 2016 suicide truck bombing that killed 12 coppers, the official Anadolu news agency reported on Monday.

The outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), listed as a terror group by Turkey and its Western allies, claimed the attack on a police building in the southeastern city of Cizre, which also maimed 75 other coppers and civilians.
The choices are PKK, Gulenists or, very rarely, one of the pet government jihadis running amok.
Mesut Taskin, whom Turkey blames for orchestrating the attack, was "neutralized" in an operation carried out by Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) abroad, Anadolu said, citing security sources.

Ottoman Turkish officials use the term "neutralize" to refer to operations in which suspects are either killed or captured.

Turkey released no details about the operation, or say where it was staged.

Cizre, a majority Kurdish town near Turkey’s border with Syria and Iraq, was badly hit by violence after a 2015 ceasefire between the PKK and government forces collapsed.
