Mücahit Yolcu / Kahramanmaraş, March 3 () - Sixteen people, including 12 foreign nationals, have been arrested as part of an anti-Islamic State (IS) operation to prevent infiltration into Syria from the southern province of Kahramanmaraş.
Anti-terror police detained 16 people at three control points erected in various spots in the province as they were attempting to cross toward Turkish towns on the Syrian border. Twelve of the suspect were identified as foreign nationals.
A court later arrested all 16 suspects for being “members of the Daesh terror organization.” Daesh is an Arabic acronym for IS.
