JAKARTA - Turkish anti-terror police arrested 110 people who were members of the ISIS group on Tuesday local time. They were arrested on charges of supporting ISIS operations, most of which targeted Istanbul
Anadolu reported that the hundreds of people were suspected of designing illegal gathering classes, educating young children with ISIS ideology, raising money for the group, and trying to recruit new ISIS members.
They were arrested during simultaneous raids in three provinces in Turkey, centered in Istanbul. From the operation, the police seized four rifles and 90 bullets along with documents and digital materials.
The Turkish Ministry of the Interior added that police arrested 324 other people in raids targeting ISIS suspects in 47 provinces last week.
