    NECDET OZEL FOUND TO HAVE USED CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST KURDS

    Tert.am

    The deputy head of the Turkish army's general headquarters, Necdet
    Ozel, used chemical weapons against Kurdish rebels in the late 1990s,
    Firat news agency reported.

    Ozel, who is going to take command of the Turkish armed forces in the
    near future, led military operations against the Kurdistan Liberation
    Army in May 1999. His chemical weapons are said to have caused the
    death of 20 Kurdish rebels.

    He later became known as "chemical Necdet", a nickname similar to the
    one given to Ali Hasan al-Majid - a relative of ex Iraqi leader Saddam
    Hussein - who was executed in 2010. Majid used chemical weapons in
    1988 when he headed the military operation Al Anfal in Halabja town,
    killing 5,000 Kurdish civilians.
