After months of surveillance, Turkish security forces on Friday arrested Daesh terrorist Mohamed al Celul, who delivered explosives from the Syria to Turkey for the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) to carry out terror attacks across the country, the Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak wrote.
Security units seized 280 kilograms of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) explosives, which were accumulated over the last eight months, after digging up the basement floor of the suspect’s relatives’ house, said the newspaper.
After lengthy surveillance process, police unveiled that many PKK terrorists visited the house where the explosives were stored multiple times, indicating the terror link between Daesh and the PKK, according to Yeni Safak.
Some arrested PKK members recently confessed that they use Daesh terrorists to transport weapons and explosives, which led Turkish counter-terrorism forces to search for the links between the two terror groups, the newspaper added.
