Turkey:  Police conduct anti-terror raids in Ankara

Turkish security forces have carried out an early-morning anti-terror operation in the capital Ankara against Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) suspects.

Squads from Ankara Provincial Gendarmerie Command conducted simultaneous raids on five different locations on Friday, targeting the "urban organization of the PKK", which is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU.

Friday's raids followed a wave of similar anti-terror operations by Istanbul police on Thursday in the city's Umraniye district targeting supporters of Daesh, the PKK and the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) after police defused a bomb in the Okmeydani district late on Wednesday.
