Türkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) and Syrian intelligence forces carried out a coordinated operation in Syria that led to the capture of 10 suspected Daesh members wanted under Interpol Red Notices, security sources said.
The suspects were brought to Türkiye following the operation, which officials said targeted individuals involved in Daesh activities and past attacks against the country.
Joint efforts by MIT and the General Directorate of Security’s counterterrorism department resulted in the arrest of nine of the suspects by a Turkish court after questioning, while one suspect remained in custody with detention procedures ongoing.
Security sources said intelligence work identified the suspects as Turkish nationals who had crossed into Syria in previous years to join Daesh and later became active within the group’s structure.
Investigators determined that several of the suspects had ties to attacks and logistical networks linked to terrorism targeting Türkiye.
