Turkey Says 17 Daesh-Linked Suspects Detained in Diyarbakir
Police in Muğla, Bursa and Malatya provinces launched the raids to nab 19 suspects, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.
A blank firing gun, cartridges, digital materials and prohibited publications were confiscated during the raids.
Security forces are still looking for two other suspects, the report said.
Turkish security forces say they have nabbed at least 850 suspects with links to Daesh in the first three months of 2021.
In 2013, Turkey became one of the first countries to declare Daesh a terrorist group.
The country has since been attacked by the terrorist group multiple times, with over 300 people killed and hundreds more injured in at least 10 suicide bombings, seven bomb attacks and four armed assaults.
In response, Turkey launched counterterrorism operations at home and abroad to prevent further attacks.
