Suspected IS suicide bomber arrested in Turkey
Turkish border guards stopped a suspected Daesh-linked ("Islamic
state") suicide bomber on the Syrian frontier on Tuesday, a
security source said, Anadolu reported.
The potential bomber, who was carrying explosives, was arrested
alongside nine other suspected Daesh members in Gaziantep province,
the source said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on
speaking publicly.
According to a statement from the provincial governor’s office, the
group originally consisted of 13 suspects but three escaped. It
said two were injured when they were arrested.
The group had crossed from Syria, the security source added without
providing further detail. The Turkish authorities regularly arrest
suspected Daesh members in the provinces of Gaziantep and Kilis,
which border a region of Syria under the group’s control.
