Turkish police take part in a raid in Istanbul, Türkiye, (AA Photo)
Turkish security forces on Wednesday said they had detained at least 15 suspected Daesh and al-Qaida terrorists in Istanbul.
Anti-terror police launched simultaneous operations at 12 locations in Istanbul.
The police added that the 15 people arrested in the operation were all foreign nationals.
Turkey has been working on unearthing Daesh plots and apprehending possible suspects as of late.
Last month, police arrested 19 foreign nationals in Ankara who had allegedly been in contact with Daesh terrorists in conflict zones.
Earlier in 2023, police had apprehended another Daesh terrorist who was preparing for an attack in Istanbul.
In 2013, Turkey became one of the first countries to declare Daesh a terrorist group.
However, the country has since been attacked by Daesh multiple times, with over 300 people killed and hundreds more injured in at least 10 suicide bombings, seven bomb attacks and four armed assaults.
