Jr Talabani Recorded the US Raid

According to the eyewitnesses, Bafel Talabani parked his white Land Cruiser jeep in front of the PUK Foreign Relations Office, which is only 100 meters far from the raided bureau, before the operation started at 14.45. Then, he recorded the operation with his video camera. The eyewitnesses said that, his peshmerges were also there. Bafel videotaped inside of the bureau also, when the operation was over at about 16.00. At the moment approximately 170 peshmerges of PUK were plundering the bureau.
Bafel Talabani completed his education in England. He is the principal assistant of his father and the commander of the Special Peshmerge Cobra Force. He also provides coordination between the U.S. and PUK, and is big American admirer. He reportedly coordinated the operation that took place on the same day in Kirkuk and resulted in the arrest of 18 Turcomans by Americans. Bafel is married with the daughter of Sheik Mohamed Berzenci. This marriage ties PUK with the strongest tribe of the region, Berzencis.

The military uniforms and money of the Turkish Special Team were stolen during the raid. The Team reportedly urged PUK to return them.
