Turkish police forces have reportedly arrested around 30 people during raids against suspected Tafiri Daesh terrorists in a south-central city.

The arrests were made in the city of Konya, the capital of a province of the same name, on Tuesday, the country’s Doğan News Agency reported.

On Monday, police carried out a similar raid against a dozen houses in the Kayapinar district of the mainly-Kurdish province of Diyarbakir in the country’s southeast, prompting clashes with the suspected Daesh terrorists. The firefight reportedly killed two Turkish police forces and seven members of the group. Three militants were also captured alive in the stand-off.

Ankara, which has for some time been engaged in missions to locate suspected Daesh cells on Turkish soil, extended the operations after a double bombing killed more than 100 people in Ankara on October 10.

The blasts targeted activists who had gathered for a peace rally organized by leftist and pro-Kurdish opposition groups.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Daesh may have been behind the attack.

Ankara also blamed a July 20 bombing in the border town of Suruc on the Takfiri terror group. At least 30 people were killed and nearly a 100 wounded in that explosion.

Turkey has time and again been accused of being one of the main supporters of the militant groups operating in Syria, with reports saying that Ankara actively trains and arms the Takfiri militants there and facilitates their safe passage into the Arab country.

Turkish opposition daily Cumhuriyet integrated videos in a June report, implicating Turkish Intelligence Service (MIT) in ensuring safe passage into Syria for Daesh terrorists.

The center-left paper had also posted a video on its website on May 29, purportedly showing trucks belonging to the Turkish intelligence agency carrying weapons to the Takfiri terrorists operating in Syria.

The activities of Daesh inside Turkish territory, however, seem to be an inevitable side-effect of support for the militants in Syria that cannot be easily managed.
