Today
[20/12] Zaman is a Turkish daily and part of the Gülen organization.
As such it is currently in opposition to the Turkish president
Erdogan and some of his policies. So take this with a grain of salt:
During
the meetings between Turkish officials and Barzani in Ankara, Barzani
spoke on the 150 ISIL militants of Turkish origin who had been
captured by Kurdish peshmerga forces during clashes with ISIL.
According to sources, Barzani said some ISIL members captured by the
peshmerga had identified themselves as members of MİT and he
requested that MİT head Fidan clarify the issue. Barzani also sought
assistance from Ankara to remove 500 Turkish nationals in Mosul who
are in leading positions in ISIL.
The MIT is
the Turkish secret service. It is certainly not the only spy
organization whicht has infiltrated the Islamic State. But as Turkey
has been the rear base and travel route for the Islamic State and its
members the MIT is likely the service with the biggest contingent.
How any
spies and/or operators does it have within the Islamic State
structures? Even more important - how influential are these within
the Islamic State hierarchies?
The Kurdish
organizations within Turkey believe that the two big Islamic State
attacks on mostly Kurdish rallies, in Suruc and in Ankara, were
intended to support Erdogan's reelection. Influential MIT agents
within the Islamic State would have been be part of such
conspiracies.
