Turkish police have detained 10 people suspected of links with Daesh in the central province of Konya.



Police launched simultaneous operations on 15 separate addresses to capture the suspects.



Suspected Daesh members were also accused of attempting to recruit new members to the terrorist group.



Also some documents belonging to the terrorist organization were seized during the search in the houses.



Previously, as many as 60 Daesh-linked suspects were captured in operations in several Turkish cities.



The operations against Daesh have intensified as a part of heightened security measures after the bloody terror attack in Istanbul.



The suicide bombing targeted Istanbul's Sultanahmet Square, a major tourist attraction, and left 10 people dead and 15 others wounded on January 12.
