Turkey: Over 300 arrested in raids against IS
A total of 325 people have been arrested in Turkey, suspected of having links to the terrorist movement Islamic State.
According to the Interior Ministry, raids have been carried out in 47 of the country's 81 provinces, and among those arrested are several people suspected of financing the terrorist movement. The raid is similar to several others in recent years.
"For peace, unification and solidarity in our nation, we continue our efforts tirelessly, day and night, 365 days a year," the ministry wrote in a statement.
Turkey shares a 900-kilometer border with Syria where jihadist groups are still active. Among other things, IS is accused of an attack in mid-December last year, where two American soldiers and a civilian were killed.
