SAMSUN/ANKARA, Turkey (AA) – At least 14 foreign nationals were arrested Friday over suspected links to the Daesh terror group, also known as ISIS, while arrest warrants were issued for 10 other suspects in Turkey, according to a security source.

Police teams in the Black Sea province of Samsun launched simultaneous operations at 13 addresses in Ilkadim, Canik and Carsamba districts, said the source on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

During the operation, four Syrian and 10 Iraqi nationals, who were active within the terror group, were detained. Digital materials were also seized from the suspects’ addresses, it added.

Separately, prosecutors in the capital Ankara issued arrest warrants for 10 foreign nationals as part of a probe to uncover the terror group’s members who distribute money to the relatives of Daesh members who are killed in clashes in Syria and Iraq.

The operation has been launched in three provinces to nab the suspects, who are also learned to be involved in the killing of a foreign national, said the Prosecutor’s Office in Ankara.

In 2013, Turkey became one of the first countries to declare Daesh/ISIS a terrorist group.

The country has since been attacked by Daesh/ISIS terrorists multiple times, with at least 10 suicide bombings, seven bomb attacks, and four armed attacks that killed 315 people and injured hundreds more.

In response, Turkey launched anti-terror operations at home and abroad to prevent further attacks.
