Türkiye captures 10 ISIL suspects in Syria
Ten suspects accused of being ISIL members, including one linked to the 2015 Ankara train station attack, have been captured in Syria in a joint operation with Syrian intelligence, Turkish security sources announced on May 23.
According to the sources, the suspects who had crossed from Türkiye into Syria and joined ISIL were active within the group and took part in multiple terrorist attacks in Türkiye.
One of the detainees was found to be connected to those responsible for the train station bombing in the capital Ankara in 2015, which killed more than 100 people.
Following the identification of the ISIL members in Syria, Türkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MİT) conducted coordinated field operations with the Syrian intelligence.
