Three Paris Suspects with Potential ISIS Ties Arrested in Turkey

Three individuals were arrested in Turkey in connection with the Paris terrorist attacks; all of them are believed to have ties to ISIS.

According to CNN, Belgian national Ahmet Dahmani was arrested in a Turkish hotel, while Syrian nationals Ahmet Tahir and Mohammed Verd were arrested after showing up in Turkey to bring Dahmani to Syria.

It’s believed that Dahmani scouted out locations for ISIS to carry out the attack that ultimately left over 100 dead and more injured in Paris last week.

Belgium has been cracking down amid raising its terror alert level with arrests of their own this week of individuals believed to be connected to the terrorist attack.
