The Kurdistan Freedom Falcons ((クルド語: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. It is unclear whether or not TAK is connected to any other Kurdish nationalist organizations, though it is believed they split off from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) when they became dissatisfied with the group's tactics.〔 Some Turkish security analysts have alleged that Bahoz Erdal may be the leader of the TAK.〔(The Militant Kurds: A Dual Strategy for Freedom ), written by Vera Eccarius-Kelly, page 212〕 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. ==Founding Philosophy== The TAK are seeking an independent Kurdish state that includes some of southeastern Turkey.〔 The group has been violently opposed to the Turkish government’s policies towards its Kurdish minority.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kurdistan Freedom Hawks )〕 TAK first appeared in 2004. There is substantial debate on the origin, composition, and affiliations of the group. Some analysts believe that the group is either a small splinter of or an alias for the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the most active Kurdish militant group.〔〔 〕〔 〕 Others, however, suggest that the group may be totally independent of the PKK, or only loosely connected to it. PKK leaders deny having any control over the TAK. There are some indications that the TAK was founded by disgruntled or former members of the PKK.〔 Though the TAK has not articulated a specific platform beyond enmity with the Turkish regime, it is likely the group at least supports the PKK’s goal of an independent Kurdistan.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kurdistan Freedom Falcons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
