The Turkish National Police arrested a senior Islamic State figure in Istanbul, and they said that he had held senior positions in the group in Syria. The man was only identified with his initials and his code name, Abu Huzaifah, and he is suspected of having held roles in Raqqa, Manbij, and Tell Abyad. The earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria earlier this year have offered an opportunity for the Turkish National Police to catch the IS figure, and they are now in pre-trial detention.
