Dokumacılar

A woman in the southeastern Turkish province of Şanlıurfa has faked her death in order to escape being killed by her husband - a former Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militant.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been investigating an Islamic State Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) cell known as the "Dokumacılar" since a suicide attack killed two U.S. citizens and two others on Istanbul's İstiklal Avenue on March 19, 2016, according to revelations from a case file at the Istanbul Chief Prosecutor's Office.

It was not centuries ago. It was not years ago. It was only 16 months ago that this society managed to open the door for a possible coalition government. The results of the June 7, 2015 general election reflected the need for reconciliation in the seat distribution at the Turkish Parliament. 

After seizing the computer of the mastermind of the Oct. 10, 2015 Ankara bombing, investigating prosecutors have found that one of the blast's main suspects and the suicide bomber of the Suruç attack, both carried out by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), were in regular contact with each other. 

Turkey's Interior Ministry has updated its list of "wanted terrorists" to include 23 Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants following the jihadist organization's twin suicide bombing in the country's capital on Oct. 10, 2015. The government has offered rewards of more than 42 million Turkish liras (more than $14 million) for any information leading to the suspects' capture.

The death toll from last month's Ankara bombing has risen to 103, after one of the wounded victims died, judicial sources said Nov. 18. No further details were available. It is not known how many other victims are still in critical condition. A week after the Oct. 10 attack, 150 remained in hospital. 

The story of how the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) recruited militants in Turkey who then went on to kill hundreds of people around the country began in an ordinary teahouse in the country's east.

Turkish police arrested around 50 foreign nationals in Istanbul early on Oct. 18 in a sweep targeting jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) suspected of involvement in the Oct. 10 Ankara suicide bombings, reports said.
 
The raid focused on several apartments in the Pendik suburb on Istanbul's Asian side, the NTV news channel reported.
 

The legal restrictions imposed on the media over news of the Oct. 10 Ankara suicide bombings - in which the number of deaths hit 102 on Oct. 16 (with many heavily wounded victims still in hospital) - did not work well this time.

The death toll from the double suicide bombing in Ankara now stands at 99, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu said on Oct. 14, lightly raising the previous toll of 97 people.
