Officials and reports say police in Turkey have detained a would-be Kurdish rebel suicide bomber and rounded up 12 suspected Islamic State militants as it presses ahead with a crackdown on terror groups.
The regional governor's office said police on Wednesday detained a militant of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, who it claimed planned an attack in the majority Kurdish city of Diyarbakir.
The state-run Anadolu Agency reported, meanwhile, that police conducted raids in Ankara and three other cities, detaining at least 13 people suspected of links to Islamic State extremists.
