The Turkish police on Monday detained 10 people suspected of having links with the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, media reported.
Police raided several houses in western Sakarya province as part of an operation against IS suspects, Xinhua news agency reported citing private Dogan news service.
In February, six people were arrested over charges of having links with the IS.
