Thirty-five out of 136 people wanted by Turkish police in connection with school dormitories linked to a terror network were arrested in the capital, Ankara, on Thursday.
Thursday’s arrests are part of an operation against Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO)-linked dormitories, security sources said.
The police operation also included three premises in the Turkish capital: the Iffet girls’ dormitory and Ihtiyat and Temkin boys’ dormitories.
A provincial security source who spoke on condition of anonymity said suspects were also wanted in 20 provinces across the country.
The Ankara chief public prosecutor issued arrest warrants for 136 suspects -- including 45 women -- who are managers and staff of FETO-linked premises. Managers of companies affiliated to these dormitories are also being investigated.
