Turkish police killed a suspected ISIS operative in a raid near Ankara on Wednesday, according to Turkish media reports. The operation adds to a sustained Turkish counterterrorism campaign: as The Zioneer reported on June 7, Turkish authorities had arrested 361 suspected ISIS operatives in coordinated operations across 39 provinces just over two weeks ago. The latest raid indicates Turkish security forces continue to act on intelligence targeting the network.
Details on the identity of the suspect, the precise location of the raid, and whether additional suspects were detained have not yet been released. The operation follows Turkey's pattern of frequent, localized raids against ISIS cells, particularly around the capital.
