Post by : Elena Malik

Türkiye's security forces have thwarted a potential ISIS bomb attack in Istanbul. According to Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya, the suspect, identified as K.A., was detained in Istanbul's Beykoz district as part of Operation "Bozdogan 32." It's reported that K.A. has connections to the ISIS terrorist organization and possessed knowledge of bomb-making techniques. The arrest came after intensive surveillance and investigation by counter-terrorism units.

During the operation, authorities seized a significant quantity of bomb-making materials from K.A.'s apartment. Minister Yerlikaya stated that these chemicals were capable of causing large-scale explosions. Additionally, six other individuals suspected of having links to ISIS were detained in the operation.

The Minister emphasized that Türkiye remains steadfast in its fight against terrorism, with security services conducting a total of 1,422 operations against ISIS between June 2023 and April 2024. These efforts have resulted in the apprehension of thousands of suspects, with hundreds arrested and placed under judicial control.

This incident marks a resurgence of ISIS activity in Türkiye after a period of relative calm. The terrorist group claimed responsibility for several attacks in Türkiye between 2015 and 2017, resulting in numerous casualties. Türkiye officially designated ISIS as a terrorist organization in 2013.

The recent operation underscores the ongoing threat posed by ISIS and Türkiye's determination to combat terrorism. Authorities remain vigilant in monitoring and apprehending individuals associated with terrorist organizations, and they continue to conduct raids and operations to ensure the safety and security of the country and its citizens.
