ISTANBUL, Jul 23 (NNN-ANADOLU) – Turkish law enforcement agents in Istanbul, detained 10 individuals, suspected of being active members of the Daesh, the local Demiroren News Agency (DHA) reported, yesterday.
Special Operations forces raided 10 different locations in the city, in the early morning, capturing the suspects, operational files and digital material that could give clues about other Daesh cells within the region.
