SAKARYA

Counter-terrorism police on April 16 detained four foreign nationals as part of an operation against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the western province of Sakarya, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency has reported. 

The detentions came following an investigation launched by the Sakarya Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, with police raiding a number of pre-determined addresses in the province.

Two Iraqi and two Syrian nationals (including one woman) accused of being part of the group’s death squads and conducting armed activities on behalf of the group were detained in the raids.

The suspects were reportedly taken to the police station for their testimonies.
