\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ten suspects accused of being ISIL members, including one linked to the 2015 Ankara train station attack, have been captured in Syria<\/a> in a joint operation with Syrian intelligence, Turkish security sources announced on May 23.<\/p>\n

According to the sources, the suspects who had crossed from T\u00fcrkiye<\/a> into Syria and joined ISIL were active within the group and took part in multiple terrorist attacks in T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n

One of the detainees was found to be connected to those responsible for the train station bombing in the capital Ankara in 2015, which killed more than 100 people.<\/p>\n

Following the identification of the ISIL members in Syria, T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s National Intelligence Organization (M\u0130T) conducted coordinated field operations with the Syrian intelligence.<\/p>\n

The suspects, whose movements were closely monitored, were apprehended in a targeted operation and transferred to T\u00fcrkiye. Nine of the detained suspects were then arrested, while the detention period of one suspect was extended.<\/p>\n

During questioning, the suspects are said to have provided testimony about ISIL operational orders, internal training and propaganda activities.<\/p>\n

Ali Bora, wanted under a red notice, was identified as ISIL\u2019s intelligence chief for T\u00fcrkiye and was involved in planning attacks after joining the group in 2014.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, \u00d6mer Deniz D\u00fcndar was linked to the 2015 train station bombing network, joined ISIL in 2014, took part in attacks and was tied to explosive devices seized in 2017.<\/p>\n

Two others are accused of planning or participating in attacks on Turkish soldiers deployed in northern Syria.<\/p>\n

The operation came days after Turkish counter-terror police arrested 110 people on suspicion of activities in support of the ISIL terror group in an operation largely targeting Istanbul.<\/p>\n

The suspects were accused of organizing classes in illegal associations, educating young children with ISIL ideology, collecting money for the group and seeking to recruit new ISIL members.<\/p>\n
