Türkiye's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) neutralised a senior PKK/KCK terrorist in northern Iraq, security sources have said.

Azad Akinci, codenamed Adil Mardin, who was responsible for the terror group's activities in the Makhmur camp, was neutralised in an operation conducted in Makhmur, northern Iraq, on Friday.
