Turkey's state-run agency says authorities have detained 15 members of an anti-American youth organization who physically assaulted two U.S. military personnel in the city of Izmir. Anadalu Agency says members of the Turkish Youth Union were detained on the orders of a prosecutor soon after Monday's assault.
ANKARA , Turkey — Turkish authorities on Monday detained 15 members of an anti-American youth organization who physically assaulted two U.S. military personnel in the city of Izmir, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
The group posted a video of the incident on social media platform X and said they placed sacks over the heads of soldiers who had disembarked from the U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship USS Wasp. “The U.S. soldiers who carry the blood of our soldiers and thousands of Palestinians on their hands cannot pollute our country,” the group said on X.
