ANKARA, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- Two policemen and seven suspected Islamic State (IS) militants were killed early Monday in a police raid in southern Turkey, the private Dogan News Agency reported.
Twelve IS militants were captured in the operation, while five police officers were wounded, Dogan said, quoting Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus.
Turkey has beefed up security operations against suspected militant targets around the country since Oct. 10, when two suicide bombings hit the capital of Ankara, killing 102 people and injuring many others.
Authorities said the IS was the prime suspect in the country's deadliest terror attack in history.
