Turkey Arrests Over 200 ISIS-Linked Suspects Ahead of NATO

Turkish police arrested 209 individuals suspected of links to ISIS and far-left terrorist organizations as part of security measures ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara, scheduled for July 7-8. The Ankara Prosecutor's Office confirmed that 200 people were detained, while 32 others remain in custody.

Among those arrested, 185 suspects were linked to various far-left organizations, including the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C), which has claimed responsibility for past attacks in Turkey. In response to the heightened security concerns, the Ankara Governor's Office announced a ban on demonstrations from June 28 until the end of the NATO summit.

The summit is expected to bring together leaders from 32 member states, including U.S. President Donald Trump.
