Turkey arrests 10 ISIS suspects in Syria

Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) said on Saturday that 10 ISIS (Daesh) suspects, including one linked to the 2015 Ankara train station attack, were captured in Syria in a joint operation with Syrian intelligence, Turkish security sources said.

According to sources, the suspects who had crossed from Turkey to Syria and joined ISIS were active within the group and had participated in numerous terrorist attacks in Turkey.

One of the detainees was found to have links to those responsible for the train station bombing, which killed more than 100 people.

After identifying ISIS members in Syria, MIT conducted coordinated field operations with Syrian intelligence. The suspects, whose movements were closely monitored, were captured in a targeted operation and transferred to Turkey. Nine of the detained suspects were subsequently arrested, while the detention period of one suspect was extended.

During interrogation, the suspects reportedly provided testimony regarding ISIS operational orders, internal training, and propaganda activities.

Ali Bora, wanted on a red notice, was identified as ISIS's intelligence chief for Turkey and was involved in planning attacks after joining the group in 2014.

Meanwhile, Omer Deniz Dundar was linked to the train station bombing network in 2015, joined ISIS in 2014, participated in the attacks and was linked to the explosive devices seized in 2017.

Huseyin Peri, Kadir Gozukara, Abdullah Cobanoglu and Hakki Yuksek all joined ISIS in Syria and were involved in various operational, logistical or support activities within the group.

Other suspects included Cekdar Yılmaz, Murat Ozdemir, Ishak Gunci and KD, who joined ISIS in Syria and were involved in fighting, as well as organizational and administrative activities within the group.
