it's hard to believe that such a professionally organized attack (even if B. Erdal claims it was actually quite amatuer!) that targets a high level Turkish official, in the center of a city where the Barzanis have serious (altho clearly not as tight as I thought) intelligence...
was not run by the PKK. I initially was skeptical that it was the PKK precisely because I didn't think the PKK could operate with such freedom in Erbil & didn't think it would risk an outright clash with the KDP by taking such action...
so to me the attack shows the PKK is much better organized throughout Kurdistan and that it's level of intelligence gathering is more sophisticated. That the PKK now claims it was just some guys who did it shows the group doesn't want to openly clash with KDP on this...
but what's also interesting is why, until now, the KDP hasn't openly blamed the PKK and why Turkey is uncharacteristically quiet about this. For all the clashes, it seems no one wants to upset the uneasy status quo.
