80 Daesh suspects detained in six Turkish cities

As many as 80 Daesh suspects, including 20 organizers, were detained on Thursday in a counter-terrorism operation in six Turkish provinces.

The Istanbul-centered operation was conducted in Edirne, Erzurum, Gaziantep, Şanlıurfa, Kırklareli and Istanbul simultaneously.

Twenty of the total detainees were reported to be organizers; 15 of the suspected organizers were detained in Istanbul.

Istanbul police conducted the raid on 31 addresses to detain the suspects, which were to be sent to Syria by the Daesh terrorist organization.

Only yesterday on Wednesday, seven Daesh members were detained as police raided the cell house where they were staying in the southern Turkish province of Adana.

The seven detainees were claimed to be suicide bombers. Four of them are foreign-origin, according to the police sources.

Security forces also conducted a search in the house to find explosives.

Previously on October, 19 Daesh suspects were detained in the operation against the Daesh terrorist organization in the southeastern Turkish province of Gaziantep. The explosives were found in a building used as a storage house.

Turkey has been fighting against some other terrorist groups such as the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and its affiliated groups both across the country and abroad.
