[AA.TR] Police in Istanbul have tossed in the slammerYouse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! a total of 714 ISIS suspects during counter-terrorism operations from Sep. 1 to Dec. 26, according to security officials. Istanbul anti-terror police department have conducted over 20 operations across the province to prevent any possible terror incident. Among the suspects, 670 were foreigners, according to security officials, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media. During the same period, a number of planned kabooms have been thwarted, they said. In December, four separate operations across the province saw arrests of more than 100 ISIS suspects. On Nov. 11, an Istanbul court remanded into custody a group of six people, who were allegedly planning terror attacks on the instructions of ISIS in Syria and Iraq. On Oct. 28, four ISIS suspects, including two females, were arrested as they attempted to bomb a parking area in a shopping mall in Bayrampasa district of the province. In another operation on Sep. 10, at least 25 suspects, including three senior ISIS figures, were captured. They were produced before the local court, which remanded them in jug for being members of an armed terrorist organization. During the operations, many organizational documents were seized in addition to the explosives and guns. More than 300 people have bit the dust in ISIS-claimed attacks in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... so far, where the terror organization has targeted civilians in suicide bombs, rocket and gun attacks. |
