Turkish police have carried out raids against suspected militants from so-called Islamic State after the deadly attack on Istanbul’s Ataturk airport.
At least 13 suspects were detained in the raids in Istanbul, with more in the western coastal city of Izmir. Turkey believes IS was behind Tuesday’s suicide gun and bomb attack that left 42 people dead and more than 230 injured.
A Turkish official said earlier today, the police raided 16 locations to detain 13 IS suspects, including three foreign nationals.
Turkish media said counter-terrorism police had raided several areas of Istanbul – including Pendik, Basaksehir and Sultanbeyli.
Arrests were also reported in Izmir, where at least nine people were detained, accused of financing, recruiting and providing logistical support to so-called Islamic State.
