Turkish security forces rounded up nine foreign nationals over their alleged links to the Daesh\/ISIS terrorist group in the metropolis of Istanbul, security sources said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Anti-terror police teams launched an operation to nab the suspects, believed to be part of groups planning attacks on behalf of Daesh\/ISIS, said the sources, who requested anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.<\/p>\n
Police carried out simultaneous raids at 13 locations in five different districts of Istanbul.<\/p>\n
A large number of digital materials and organizational documents were also seized during the raids.<\/p>\n
Three of the suspects remain in police custody and six have been released on prosecutor’s orders.<\/p>\n
Turkey was one of the first countries to declare Daesh\/ISIS a terror group.<\/p>\n
The country has since been attacked by Daesh\/ISIS terrorists multiple times. The group has carried out at least 10 suicide bombings, seven bomb attacks, and four armed attacks, killing 315 people and injuring hundreds more.<\/p>\n
In response, Turkey launched anti-terror operations at home and abroad to prevent further attacks.<\/p>\n
