Turkish police on Tuesday arrested 30 suspected members of the Islamic State (IS) terror group in a security operation in the province of Konya.
According to state-run Dogan news agency, security teams carried out simultaneous raids on the residences of alleged IS members in Konya and the city of Cumra, Efe news reported.
