(MENAFN- AzerNews) Türkiye's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) captured four
wanted IS terrorists in Syria, including senior militant who acted
as the terrorist group's so-called former governor, security
sources said Wednesday, Azernews reports citing Daily Sabah.
The terrorists were nabbed in an operation following extensive
work and were handed to security forces, the sources said.
IS' former so-called Türkiye governor Shahap Varish, who was on
the Red Category of the Interior Ministry's Wanted List, was among
those detained in the operation.
The terrorist was behind a number of foiled terrorist attacks
planned against Turkish security forces.
In 2013, Türkiye became one of the first countries to declare IS
a terrorist group.
The country has since been attacked by the terrorist group
multiple times, with over 300 people killed and hundreds more
injured in at least 10 suicide bombings, seven bomb attacks and
four armed assaults.
In response, Türkiye launched counterterrorism operations at
home and abroad to prevent further attacks.
