Over 900 People Detained During Anti-Terror Operation in Turkey
The situation in Turkey deteriorated after a suicide bombing in the Turkish border town of Suruc that killed 32 people, most of them Kurds, and injured over 100, and the killings of two police officers in the southern city of Ceylanpinar.
The Suruc suicide bomber was reportedly affiliated with ISIL. PKK claimed responsibility for the Ceylanpinar killings, saying it was in retaliation for the deadly attack in Suruc.
On Friday, the Turkish authorities launched a campaign to fight what Ankara described as "terrorist" organizations, including the PKK and the ISIL militants. On Saturday and Sunday, Turkish Air Force carried out air strikes on PKK targets in northern Iraq.
So far, over 900 people have been detained in the fields of the anti-terrorist operation.
