The Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (Kurdish: Teyrênbazê Azadiya Kurdistan‎, TAK), also known as the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks, is a militant group that has committed attacks throughout Turkey, operating in southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq with a goal of securing Kurdish secession from Turkey. In December 2015, the group announced that they are not dependent on PKK, which they see as an organization that is too humanist. Some Turkish sources have claimed that it is unclear whether or not TAK is connected to any other Kurdish nationalist organizations, though they believe that TAK split off from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) when it became dissatisfied with the group's tactics. Some Turkish security analysts have alleged that Bahoz Erdal may be the leader of the TAK. The group goes by other names including, but not limited to Kurdish Vengeance Brigade, Kurdistan Freedom Falcons Organization, Kurdistan Liberation Hawks. Most TAK attacks are directed against tourist areas in Istanbul, Ankara, and southern coastal resort areas. In the first three months of 2006, they claimed responsibility for eight bombings that killed two and injured 47 civilians. On 23 December 2015, they conducted a bombing in Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, leaving 1 dead.
