土耳其官方的安纳多卢通讯社说,当局逮捕了14名伊斯兰国成员嫌疑人。他们策划这个周末袭击选举投票。

安纳多卢通讯社说,星期五上午在土耳其首都安卡拉对这14名外国公民的住宅同时进行的突查中把他们拘留。

目前还不清楚突查中收缴了什么材料。

土耳其公民星期天投票选举总统和议会议员,土耳其将开始赋予总统很大的权力。

伊斯兰国组织近年来在土耳其发动了数次袭击,包括2017年新年对伊斯坦布尔一家夜总会的攻击,杀死39人。

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency says authorities have arrested 14 suspected Islamic State members who were preparing an attack on this weekend’s elections.

The agency says the 14 foreign nationals were detained Friday morning, in simultaneous raids on their residences in Ankara, Turkey’s capital.

It was not immediately clear what materials were seized in the raids.

Turks vote Sunday in presidential and parliamentary elections that will trigger a change to a powerful presidential system.

Islamic State has conducted a number of attacks in Turkey in recent years, including a New Year’s massacre on a nightclub in Istanbul in 2017 in which 39 people were killed.
