Intelligence service responds to claims

ISTANBUL

MİT denied allegations that provided intelligence for a botched air raid that killed civilians.

Turkey’s Intelligence Service (MİT) responded to the claims on the intelligence being provided by the service. “The claims that the air raid was caused by MİT intelligence does not reflect truth,” it said.

Some newspapers and media outlets claimed earlier today that MİT provided intelligence to the military at that resulted in an air strike that killed 35 villagers and injured another. 

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan dismissed the claims and said the said intelligence was obtained 10 days ago.
