Istanbul Anti-Terror Branch Directorate teams captured a high level Daesh terrorist planning an assassination targeting top Turkish government officials.

“A Syrian national who planned to assassinate top government officials was arrested on Nov. 25. If the assassination plots failed, the individual planned to try and travel to Europe and carry out an attack on a bank,” said the Istanbul Police Department.

“When analyzing the digital material this individual possessed, it was found that the suspect was planning an attack targeting a consulate general, embassy and a bank in Europe. The individual was arrested by the judicial authorities on Dec. 6 and handed over to the Penal Execution Agency,” the Police Department added.
