Bahoz Erdal, born Fahman Husain (Kurdish language: Fehman Hûseyn, also spelled Fehman Hüseyin[1]) is a Kurdish member and commander of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). He is from Syria and of Kurdish origin.[2][3] He served as the head of the Hezen Parastina Gel (HPG), the PKK's armed wing from June 2004[4] until July 2009, when he was replaced by Sofi Nurettin.[5] Since 2004 he is part of the 3-man PKK Executive Committee which includes himself, acting PKK leader Murat Karayılan and PKK co-founder Cemil Bayik,[6] who preceded Bahoz Erdal as the PKK's military commander.[4]
Some Turkish security analysts have alleged that Erdal may be the leader of the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK)[7]
