Turkish police simultaneously stormed Friday several addresses to nab 12 suspects in Istanbul, Turkey’s economic, cultural and historic center.
Police stormed some addresses at dawn after the Public Prosecutor's Office in Istanbul issued arrest warrants for 12 suspects who were allegedly found to have links to ISIL organization.
The suspects were plotting attacks in Turkey’s largest city, security sources said.
Organizational documents and digital materials related to the group were also seized in the operation.
The suspects will be taken to court when their official procedures at the Police Department are completed. (ILKHA)
