The number of suspects detained in Turkey in a major police operation against the ISIS over the weekend has increased to nearly 750, authorities said Monday.
Anti-terrorism police launched the security operation against people with alleged links to IS early Sunday, conducting simultaneous raids in 29 provinces, including Istanbul, Ankara and the border provinces of Gaziantep and Sanliurfa. The state-run Anadolu Agency said that 440 people, including foreign nationals, were detained.
The Interior Ministry released a statement Monday saying that a total of 748 people have been detained in the police sweep. It didn't provide details or give a breakdown of the foreigners captured in the operation.
