8 ISIS suspects arrested in northern Türkiye
SAMSUN, Türkiye (AA) – Turkish security forces have captured at least eight suspected members of the ISIS in northern Türkiye.
As part of an investigation launched by prosecutors in the Black Sea province of Samsun, an operation was carried out by security forces to capture the suspects.
Turkish counter-terrorism police along with intelligence and special operations units arrested the suspects, one Syrian and seven Iraqi nationals, in raids carried out in Samsun’s Ilkadim district.
Police also seized digital materials during the raids at various addresses.
In 2013, Türkiye became one of the first countries to declare ISIS a “terrorist organization.”
The country has since been attacked by the group multiple times. It has carried out at least 10 suicide bombings, seven bomb attacks, and four armed attacks.
In response, Türkiye launched security operations at home and abroad to prevent further attacks.
