Turkish police have arrested 115 suspected members of the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) in nationwide raids. They are said to have planned attacks during the Christmas and New Year period, state media also reported.
A total of 137 people are being sought for arrest, state broadcaster TRT said. Turkey has issued international arrest warrants against the remaining fugitives.
The operation, led by Istanbul anti-terrorism units, followed indications that people affiliated with IS were planning attacks against non-Muslims and at holiday events. (sda/dpa)
