Turkish counter-terrorism law feature arrested 115 Islamic say (IS, formerly ISIS) suspects in a serial publication of raids, stamboul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office announced on Thursday.
The suspects were planning attacks during Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, specifically targeting non-Muslims in Türkiye during the holidays, according to the press release.
According to the authorities, 137 warrants were issued, resulting in 115 arrests.
“Pistols, ammunition and many organizational documents were seized” during more than 100 raids across the Istanbul province, the Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office said.
It added that a counter-terrorism operation is underway in search of the remaining suspects.
On Monday, Anadolu reported that Türkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) recently captured a senior IS member in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.
In early December, Turkish authorities arrested 233 individuals suspected of financing or having ties to IS.
Türkiye officially designated the group a terrorist organization in 2013.
Since then, Turkish forces have conducted more than 1,400 operations against IS, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last year.
