Meanwhile according to a secret note compiled by Turkish police intelligence,
Balı, who was indicted on charges of masterminding the ISIS attacks in 2015, met secretly with National Intelligence Organization (MİT) agents in the Turkish capital in 2016.
The information note whose authenticity was verified during interviews with people who worked in the security branches of the Turkish government and have expertise in terrorism and intelligence matters suggests Balı’s actions were directed by MİT, which coordinated clandestine operations within ISIS for political goals (
PKK, Afghanistan).
