Türkiye arrests 110 on suspicion of ISIL ties
Turkish counter-terror police on Tuesday arrested 110 people on suspicion of activities in support of the ISIL terror group in an operation largely targeting Istanbul, the Anadolu state news agency said.
The suspects are accused of organising classes in illegal associations, educating young children with IS ideology, collecting money for the group and seeking to recruit new ISIL members, in an operation coordinated by the Istanbul chief prosecutor's office.
The arrests came during simultaneous raids across three provinces, centred in Istanbul, with police seizing four rifles and 90 cartridges along with documents and digital materials.
Last week, police arrested another 324 people in raids targeting ISIL suspects across 47 provinces, the interior ministry said.
