From Turkey arrests ‘suspected jihadists posing as refugees’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTurkey’s state-run news agency says authorities have detained eight people at Istanbul’s main airport who they suspect could be Islamic State militants planning to make their way to Germany, posing as refugees.
The Anadolu Agency says the eight arrived in Istanbul from Casablanca, Morocco, and were interviewed by criminal profiling teams at Ataturk Airport. Citing police sources, the agency says one of the suspects had a hand-drawn picture of a planned route from Turkey to Germany, via Greece, Serbia and Hungary.
Anadolu says the eight claimed to be tourists visiting Istanbul but a hotel refuted claims they had reservations there.
