Ankara (IINA) – Turkish Interior Minister Efkan Ala said Sunday that 18 attacks have been thwarted in Turkey since the beginning of this year.
“As the Interior Ministry and police department, we had already warned all related units to stay alert against a possible (attack),” he said in a statement carried by Anadolu Agency. “In this way, we have thwarted 18 such incidents.”
The minister was referring to security measures taken before the Ankara car bomb attack on February 17, that killed 29 people, mostly members of the military.
“We have also captured three out of such four vehicles. A suspect was also nabbed and arrested in Istanbul’s Bosphorus area the previous day," he added referring to the explosives-laden car used in the Ankara attack.
