Fifty individuals have been detained for alleged links to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Istanbul, the state-run Anadolu Agency has reported, in the wake of the Oct. 10 Ankara bombing that killed at least 102 civilians.

The two suspects over the deadly Oct. 10 suicide bombings in Ankara had previously been probed by Turkish prosecutors for alleged links to al-Qaeda, but the investigation was closed down, news website Radikal has reported.
