22 Daesh suspects arrested in Turkey

Twenty-two foreign nationals who are suspected members of the Daesh terrorist group were arrested on Wednesday, according to Turkish security officials.

The suspects were arrested during nine simultaneous operations launched in Istanbul's districts of Esenyurt, Basaksehir, Bayrampasa, and Fatih, a security source said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

Many organizational documents and digital materials were also seized, the source added.

At least 319 people have lost their lives in Daesh attacks in Turkey, where the terrorist group has targeted civilians in suicide bomb, rocket, and gun attacks.
