PKK bomb explodes in truck, 2 terrorists captured
Hurriyet: Two PKK terrorists who had reportedly left their training camp in Northern Iraq to come to Istanbul and carry out an attack were caught by police when a bomb they tried to throw at police instead exploded in their truck. Mehmet Zahit Sahin and Ramazan Ceber left the Istanbul neighborhood of Umraniye on September 6, followed by a team of Turkish intelligence agents.

When the two terrorists realized they were being followed in Esenyurt, they first fired on the security forces, and then tried to throw a bomb from their truck towards the police. The two men were captured shortly afterwards in an operation which also netted a variety of firearms. Both men also admitted during questioning that they had been involved in the August attacks in Istanbul against the Esenyurt AKP building and the Bagcilar municipality building.

"Gulbuddin Hekmatyar Reported Captured
The commander of Hezb-i-Islami and al-Qaeda ally detained during a raid in eastern Afghanistan"


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "On the day of the fifth anniversary of the 9-11 attack, Coalition forces score a high value target in Afghanistan. Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the commander of Hezb-i-Islami and ally of al-Qaeda and the Taliban, has been captured during a joint U.S. and Afghan Army raid in “eastern Afghanistan.” Hekmatyar, contrary to his rhetoric gave up to the Coalition forces without a fight. Hekmatyar's arrest is said to be part of an 'ongoing operation.'

Hekmatyar has been designated by the U.S. Department of State as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist “ and “has participated in and supported terrorist acts committed by al-Qa’ida and the Taliban.”"
