İstanbul counterterrorism police on Friday detained three Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorists gearing up for suicide-bombings in the city’s Kağıthane, Esenyurt and Küçükçekmece districts.
The three suspects are identified as Syrian nationals Muhammed Hayır R., Ukeyl Halil E. and Ahmed H. from Aleppo.
The police are reportedly continuing operations against other ISIL terrorists who are believed to have provided logistical support to the detained militants.
