al-Bab

A YPG/PKK terrorist was held in the town of Al-Bab in northern Syria on Jan. 24, an official statement said.

Local security forces continue their efforts to uncover the terrorist group's activities, the governor's office in southeastern Turkey's Gaziantep province said.

At least 11 civilians were wounded in a bomb attack carried out by the YPG/PKK terror group in the northern Syrian city of al-Bab, the Turkish Defense Ministry said on May 10.

In a statement, the ministry said the terrorist group targeted an Operation Euphrates Shield area.

At least 11 innocent civilians were injured, one of them critically, in the attack, it added.

Turkey dispatched 180 commandos to the Syrian city of Al-Bab on Nov. 30, the military stated.

Turkey’s national postal authority will open post office branches in the towns of al-Bab and Çobanbey (al-Rai in Arabic) in the Aleppo province of northeastern Syria.

Groups inside the Free Syrian Army (FSA) forces are involved in internal conflict, Turkish sources have admitted, amid reports that Turkish-backed rebels fought with each other in the Syrian town of al-Bab, leaving several dead and scores injured. 

A series of Turkish airstrikes targeting American-allied Kurdish militias in Iraq and Syria threaten to put Turkey and the United States on a “collision course,” experts have warned.

Turkish PM Binali Yıldırım has announced the end of the military operation Euphrates Shield in neighbouring Syria, reported Reuters.

In an interview for NTV TV channel, the PM stated that the operation has been a success and has led to gaining full control of the city of al-Bab. He added that if a future Turkish military operation becomes necessary it will be under a different name.

The Atlantic Council released a very interesting analysis on the Russian-Turkish relation regarding Syria.

Russia and Turkey's respective presidents, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, will meet on March 10 for the sixth meeting of their bilateral high-level cooperation council in Moscow, as relations continue on the delicate path of normalization following a spat over Turkey's downing of a Russian jet in 2015 that led to the cancelation of the meeting later that year. 

If President Donald Trump is to fulfil his inauguration pledge to eradicate “radical Islamic terrorism” he will soon have to decide who he is going to do this with.
