A statement from the Ankara chief prosecutor's office says the suspects were nabbed in a police operation on Monday. It says all the suspects are foreigners, without providing detail on their nationalities.
According to the statement, they are suspected of trying to recruit members for the extremist group and were allegedly in contact with people in "conflict zones." The detentions came as the US Embassy in Ankara was closed today due to an unspecified security threat.
