Turkish intelligence forces on Monday neutralized three senior PKK members in northern Iraq, according to security sources.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that the terrorists, who were neutralized in northern Iraq's Metina region by Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT), were in charge of financing and intelligence for the terrorist PKK, said the sources, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

The PKK members were neutralized as they were gathering for a secret meeting, the sources added.

PKK terrorists often hide out in northern Iraq, across Turkey's border, to plan attacks in Turkey.
