Ten Turks suspected of belonging to ISIS in Syria were arrested during a joint operation between Turkish and Syrian intelligence, according to Turkish official media on Saturday.
According to Anadolu Agency and the state broadcaster TRT, nine of the ten suspects, who were subject to Interpol red notices, were transferred to Turkey.
One of the suspects is believed to have ties to those responsible for the attack outside Ankara’s train station in late 2015, which killed more than 100 people.
Two others are accused of planning or taking part in attacks against Turkish soldiers stationed in northern Syria.
According to Turkish state media, the ten suspects joined the group between 2014 and 2017, although no details were provided about where or when they were arrested.
