Turkey arrests 90 people suspected of links to Islamic State

Monday, 20 April 2026, 18:05 · 1 min read

Turkish authorities have arrested 90 people across 24 provinces on suspicion of membership in, financing, or promoting the Islamic State (IS) militant group. The sweep comes roughly two weeks after a 7 April shootout near the Israeli consulate in Istanbul in which two police officers were wounded, though officials have not formally linked these arrests to that incident. Turkey has been a recurring target of IS attacks, including a 2015 suicide bombing in Ankara that killed 103 people and a 2017 New Year's Eve nightclub attack in Istanbul that left 39 dead.
