Iran Press/ Middle East: "Neutralized" is a term used by the Turkish military and officials to indicate terrorists were either killed, wounded, or captured.
Fatma Onur, code-named "Kinda Maras," joined the PKK from England in the 1990s and has been serving in the organization's armed wing for many years.
Onur was brought to the responsible level within the "intelligence structure" of the organization, NLP, in 2016. She gave training on intelligence to the members of the organization.
According to Turkish media sources, Onur's vehicle left Qandil city near Iran-Iraq mountainous border region and was traveling to Sinjar, which was targetted in an airstrike by Turkish Security forces.
Sinjar is a town in the Nineveh Governorate in northern Iraq.
Onur, who also carried out various activities in Syria, was on the MIT list due to numerous actions against security forces, especially in the Sulaymaniyah province and the countryside of Iraq, the Turkish daily Hurriyet reported.
Starting a detailed study to decipher Onur's activities, the MİT's special agent team determined that she was sent to Sinjar as part of a "secret mission," and was brought to financial responsibility to hide her intelligence activities there.
Targeting the Senior PKK Chief happened when the conflict between northern Syria and Turkey escalated after the continuous bombardment of Northern Syria by Turkey.
