Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) has captured an operative affiliated with the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) and transferred him to Turkey after an intelligence-led operation.
The operative was identified as Abdullah, who used the codename “Uğur Bahadır,” according to an official statement from MIT.
Intelligence assessments indicated that the operative had traveled from Turkey into the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, where he was active in several ISKP camps and carried out assignments for the terrorist organization.
MIT said its intelligence findings linked the operative to activities at multiple ISKP camps across the region. He has since been transferred to Turkey, the agency confirmed.
