Turkey: 92 Suspects Arrested In Operations Against FETÖ

Security forces in Turkey on Tuesday nabbed 92 suspects associated with the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ).

The Daily Sabah reports that in Izmir, Chief Prosecutor’s Office issued arrest warrants for 60 suspects, and of these, 44 suspects have been detained so far in the city and across 25 other provinces.

The majority of the suspects were former and serving soldiers and former cadets who were expelled from military schools on suspicion of ties with the terrorist group.

The Prosecutor’s Office also said arrests were a culmination of an investigation into terrorist the group's activities in the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK).

Another investigation based in Ankara was against the terrorist group’s infiltration into the Land Forces branch of the army. Arrest warrants were issued for 21 suspects and a manhunt was underway in the capital and five other provinces to capture them.

FETÖ has been the focus of law enforcement operations, and the group had already been designated as a national security threat after its two similar coup attempts on the country.
