TL;DR Summary

Turkish counter-terrorism police have arrested a Russian citizen working at a nuclear power plant under construction in Turkey's Mersin province on suspicion of ties to the militant group Islamic State. The suspect was found to be using a fake identity at the $20-billion Akkuyu nuclear plant, being built by Russian conglomerate Rosatom. This comes amid Turkey's recent detention of 147 people with suspected Islamic State ties across 33 provinces, following an attack at a Catholic church in Istanbul last month.
