Turkey claimed it struck a major blow against an Islamic State (ISIS) group cell in a raid Monday, in which seven militants reportedly were killed. Two police officers also died in the clash in southeastern Turkey, police said.
The police officers were killed by booby-trap bombs as they broke down a door during a pre-dawn operation launched on "three or four houses" used by an ISIS cell in the city of Diyarbakir, Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said.
A dozen suspected militants were detained, Kurtulmus said. Five other police officers were wounded during the raid.
