New attacks have taken place across the country, including in the capital Ankara and Turkey’s largest city Istanbul.
Turkey said it detained more than 100 people suspected of links to the Islamic State terror group this week. This was reported by AFP.
This is the latest mass arrest in Turkey targeting the terrorist organization.
New attacks have taken place across the country, including in the capital Ankara and Turkey’s largest city Istanbul.
The reported arrest of 119 people this week follows other mass arrests, including 99 announced in early August.
As is known, after the fall of the self-proclaimed “caliphate” in 2019, some suspected ISIS members settled in Turkey.
More than 3,600 people suspected of having ties to the group have been arrested since June 2023, according to Turkish authorities.
Let’s remember last year, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the Turkish National Intelligence Service killed the leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) Abu Hussein Al-Qureishi in a special operation.
