At least five people were arrested in central Turkey on Monday for their suspected links to the Daesh terrorist organization, according to a security source.

Police counter-terrorism squads carried out raids to apprehend the suspects -- all foreign nationals -- in Konya province, said a security source, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

Security forces have been involved in a long-running campaign to clear Daesh terrorists from Turkey.

More than 300 people have lost their lives so far in Daesh-claimed attacks in Turkey, where the terror organization has targeted civilians in suicide bombings and rocket and gun attacks.
