Terrorists behind two recent attacks in Türkiye, including the weekend terror bombing on Istanbul's Istiklal Avenue, come from the northwestern Syria's Manbij region – Turkish interior minister
An investigation into the weekend bombing in Istanbul that claimed six lives and injured 81 is currently underway.
Soylu said that the perpetrator of the Istanbul terror attack and another terrorist, who carried out a separate attack on a police station in the southern Mersin province, had both come from Manbij, which he stressed is currently occupied by the PKK/YPG terrorist organisation. In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and the EU – has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is the terror group’s Syrian offshoot.
