Anarchist group Antifa is fighting alongside U.S.-backed PKK and Marxist Leninist Communist Party (MLKP) terrorists in Syria as they carry out attacks on American soil
Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorists have begun to strike against their sponsors in the U.S. and Europe by allying with anarchist group “Antifa,” which has been described as “domestic terrorists” with the FBI declaring, through official briefings, that it was in touch with PKK terrorists as its members receive training in PYD/PKK camps in Syria.
Anarchist group Antifa is fighting alongside U.S.-backed PKK and Marxist Leninist Communist Party (MLKP) terrorists in Syria as they carry out attacks on American soil, prompting U.S. security institutions to classify Antifa as “local terrorists” for the first time.
According to FBI documents and briefings obtained by Politico, an American journalism company, the Department of Homeland Security describes Antifa as a “domestic terrorist group.”
American security institutions have previously warned state officials against the threat posed by Antifa, which the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security considered, in a joint 2016 intelligence report, to be responsible, among other groups, for attacks against the police along with government and political institutions.
According to the report by Politico, Antifa’s fighting alongside “two Turkey-based groups,” the PKK and the MLKP, and that the PKK/PYD’s Syria structure, the so-called “International Free Battalion” is made up of Antifa members who are mostly of Western-origin.
Antifa fighters fought alongside PKK terrorists in Ayn al-Arab (Kobani), Tal Abyad, Manbij and the city of Raqqa.
In a 2017 report called “PKK’s Regional Terror Network,” the Turkish Police Academy had warned against the potential threat posed by leftist groups fighting in Syria.
The report underscored the enormous role played by Western anarcho-communists in the PKK terror organization.
It also warned against the threat posed by leftist and anarchist fighters returning to their countries of origin, where they will spread their terrorist ideology.
The report also warned against underestimating the threat posed by leftist groups to western democracies, noting that they are “just as dangerous as other foreign radical fighters such as Daesh and al-Qaeda.”
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the European Union and the United States. The Democratic Union Party (PYD) is the Syrian offshoot of the PKK terrorist group.
The PKK has been conducting armed violence in the southeastern part of Turkey since 1984. More than 40,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the three-decade long conflict.
