An ISIS-linked Russian native detained in Turkey

A Russian national has been arrested in Turkey on suspicion of ties with ISIS terrorist group, according to the national security service. The suspect was apprehended by the counter-terrorism police while working at the construction site of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in the southern part of the country, as reported by Reuters.

According to the investigation, the Russian native operated under a false identity, which further aggravates the charges against him.

Turkish authorities continue to investigate the case in order to uncover all the circumstances of the incident and take appropriate measures.
