[Hurriyet Daily News] The General Staff has announced that five suspected 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have been captured in the southeastern Turkish province of Gaziantep over the past week.

While four individuals thought to be ISIL members were captured in Gaziantep's Oguzeli district on Feb. 2, one more was captured in the same place on Feb. 4, according to announcements on the General Staff's website.

The alleged ISIL members were seized during security forces road inspections.

for being a member of ISIL for the first time in the country, daily Vatan had reported on Feb. 4.

The 38-year-old man, identified as Musa GöktaÅŸ, reportedly crossed into Syria to join the ISIL gunnies with his 15-year-old twin sons on Oct. 8, 2014. His wife later reported to police that her husband and children were missing, suspecting that her sons had joined ISIL with their father without telling her.

GöktaÅŸ was detained on Jan. 27 by police during an identity check while on a bus in Gaziantep that was traveling to Ankara, where he was living before leaving the country.

GöktaÅŸ has been questioned on charges of being a member of ISIL and arrested by an Ankara court on suspicion of escaping and spoiling evidence.
