In the wake of the suicide bombing attack in Ankara by Islamic State militants that took dozens of lives Oct. 10, Turkish police have launched large-scale operations against the IS network in Turkey.
On Oct. 26, there were simultaneous raids in 17 different locations in Diyarbakir. Two of the targets were single-family houses on the intersections of 42nd and 53rd Streets and Dr. Sitki Gural Avenue, very close to the center of the city.
