INFIGHTING HURTS TURKEY'S WAR AGAINST TERROR


LONDON [MENL] -- Turf wars between Turkish intelligence agencies have damaged the effectiveness of Ankara's campaign against Islamic insurgency groups.

A report said bureaucratic battles among the four Turkish counter-insurgency agencies have harmed intelligence-gathering and coordination in preventing insurgency attacks and capturing fugitives. The report by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies asserted that the bureaucratic wars stem from the differing alliances of the intelligence groups.

The report, entitled "Terror in Turkey: The problem of Intelligence-gathering," reviewed the four groups that focus on counter-insurgency operations. They are the National Intelligence Organization, known as MIT, responsible for all domestic and foreign threats and which reports to the prime minister.
