Turkish forces end ferry hijacking

Turkish security forces have raided a hijacked passenger ferry and killed the lone assailant, ending a 12-hour siege on the boat in the country's northwest, officials say.

The commandos killed the man who hijacked the ferry with about 20 passengers on board, Huseyin Avni Mutlu, Istanbul's governor, announced on Saturday.

@Koldness99 No, one person in Israel's government mentioned it as a joke, not meant to be taken seriously. If they actually would support the PKK they wouldn't mention it publicly. Not to mention I highly doubt an Islamic fundamentalist group would accept help from Israel, either.
