Turkish intelligence neutralize senior PKK/YPG terrorist in Syria

ANKARA

Türkiye's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) "neutralized" a senior PKK/YPG terrorist in a cross-border operation in Syria, security sources said on Thursday.

Zulfiye Binbir, codenamed Rojna, was “neutralized” in the Rumeylan oil field in northeast Hasakah, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

Binbir was involved in channeling money for the terrorist group and was in the green category on the Turkish Interior Ministry’s list of wanted terrorists.

The wanted list is divided into five color-coded categories, with red as the most wanted, followed by blue, green, orange, and gray.

Binbir joined the PKK terror group in 1993 and took part in numerous attacks on Turkish security forces.

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and EU — has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
