Turkish Revenge Brigade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Turkish Revenge Brigade (Turkish: Türk İntikam Tugayı, TİT) is a militant organisation in Turkey. They are allegedly linked to the extreme nationalist Grey Wolves group. In 1996, it is reported that they were involved with the murder of Turkish Cypriot journalist Kutlu Adalı.[1] In 2006, they claimed responsibility for a bomb attack on an elementary school in the predominantly Kurdish city of Diyarbakır. Eleven civilians (including six children) were killed in the attack.[2] In 1998, members of the group attempted to assassinate Akın Birdal, president of the Human Rights Association.[3] The group has also taken responsibility for the murders of Mehmet Sincar, a parliamentary deputy, and Ferhat Tepe, a journalist.[4]
