Turkey expels 110 foreign terrorists

Turkey has deported 110 foreign terrorist fighters to their countries since last month, a Turkish Interior Ministry official confirmed.

Of the 46 expelled Europeans, 21 were German citizens.

The official confirmed a comprehensive count by Turkish state news agency Anadolu Agency (AA), which said 13 French and five British citizens have returned, as well as by two citizens from Belgium, the Netherlands, Kosovo and Morocco.

A citizen from each of the countries, the US, Greece, Denmark, Ireland, and Australia was also repatriated.

So far, Turkey has included in the expulsion of even children.

The deportations were launched on November 11th, but the ministry has not specified whether all suspects were linked to the extremist Islamic State group, nor has it provided details on the charges against them.
