Romanian security forces conducting an operation against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) have dealt the terrorist group’s European branch a major blow, capturing one of its top leaders, Hüseyin C.
Already buckling under the pressure of a wave of back-to-back operations targeting its organization and financing in European countries, the PKK, which has been described as Europe’s “most dangerous gang,” has received another major blow, this time at the hands of security forces in Bucharest. Romanian forces captured a top PKK operative, Hüseyin C. (40), who faces a number of charges. According to reports, Turkey has already begun working with Romanian authorities for Hüseyin C.’s extradition to Turkey.
