Explosives Found In Bingol And Diyarbakir

GENERAL STAFF: BESIDES THE EXPLOSIVES, HIGH AMOUNT OF ILLICIT DRUGS SEIZED
ANKARA - We have seized high amount of illicit drugs besides the explosive materials which were found during operations staged in southeastern provinces of Diyarbakir and Bingol on Monday, announced Turkish General Staff on Tuesday.
"The connection between explosives and illicit drugs (which were seized in the operations)is not a new incident for Turkish Armed Forces (TSK). This face of PKK terrorist organization has been showed for many times earlier to Turkish public and the world. This recent example clearly shows that the terrorist organization continues to direct illicit drug trafficking," noted the General Staff.
In an operation staged in four shelters belonging to a person in Lice town of Diyarbakir yesterday, security forces confiscated 500 kg of ammonium nitrate, 77 kg of hashish and 80 kg of hashish seeds. The same day, security forces seized 50 kg of ammonium nitrate, 44 kg of hashish and 90 kg of cannabis seeds during operations staged in Adakli and Genc towns of Bingol.
The General Staff noted that TSK will pursue its fight against PKK terrorist organization and its supporters with determination.
