Three Killed in Raid on Suspected Militant’s Istanbul Flat

A police raid on a suspected left-wing militant’s Istanbul flat has left three people dead including a police officer and the alleged militant.

The raid was part of a widespread operation carried out by Turkish security forces that targeted at least 60 locations and resulted in more than 40 arrests. Coupled with the arrests was a large haul of weapons, ammunition and explosives seized during the raids.

Turkish officials have said the deadly incident at the flat involved a militant leader of a group linked to Kurdish separatists. During that raid several explosives were detonated and a civilian bystander was struck by a bullet and killed. As many as six officers were injured in the blasts.

The militant was said to have headed the Revolutionary Headquarters, a group believed to have close ties to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party.
