Turkish security forces detain two suspected IS terrorists
Moscow, May 21 (Sputnik/UNI) Turkish security forces detained two suspected members of the Islamic State terrorist group (outlawed in Russia) in the southeastern province of Sanliurfa on Tuesday, local media reported.
The two women were detained in the Akcakale district when they tried to illegally enter Turkey from the Syrian territory, the Anadolu news agency reported, citing a security source.
Further details of the incident remain unknown.
Turkey is involved in fighting against the Islamic State, which staged a number of terror attacks in the country; the Kurdistan Workers’ Party; as well as followers of the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, who is accused by Ankara of masterminding the 2016 attempted coup.
