Turkish police have arrested 22 foreign nationals affiliated with the Daesh/ISIS terrorist organization during an anti-terror operation in the capital Ankara, security sources said on Monday.
Police teams conducted an anti-terror operation across Ankara to arrest 27 suspects over their links to the terrorist group, according to the anonymous sources.
The operation was initiated over the suspicion that the suspects were in contact with members of the Daesh/ISIS in conflict zones and carried out activities for the terrorist organization in the past years, the sources said.
It should be mentioned that Türkiye became one of the first countries to declare Daesh/ISIS a terrorist organization, and has been attacked by the terror group multiple times, with over 300 people killed and hundreds more injured in at least 10 suicide bombings, seven bomb attacks, and four armed attacks.
