Policija kaže da je većina uhvaćenih militanata radila kao trgovci na lokalnoj tržnici u Gaziantepu i da su ih obavještajni službenici pažljivo nadzirali nakon sumnjivih putovanja u Iran, Pakistan i Afganistan u zadnjih par godina.
Police said that the majority of the detained militants were working as merchants in Gaziantep's local market and had been closely monitored by intelligence officials following suspicious travels to Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan in the last couple of years.
