Istanbul police detain 36 suspected Islamic State militants
[Ynet] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's official news agency says Istanbul police have detained 36 people as alleged members of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group. The Anadolu news agency reported Saturday that anti-terror police conducted simultaneous raids at 15 different addresses in Istanbul to apprehend five suspects who allegedly had travelled to Iraq and Syria for IS. The news agency says 31 of the people detained are foreigners. There was no information on their nationalities. Several deadly attacks in Turkey that killed more than 300 people since 2015 have been blamed on IS. Along with combatting the holy warrior group's cells inside its borders, Turkey launched a military operation in northern Syria in August 2016 to clear the border zone of IS members after a suicide bomb destroyed a street wedding in Turkey's Gaziantep province.
