Cavusoglu also claimed that the “spy” has been arrested and that it turned out to be someone who worked in the intelligence services of a country in the anti-ISIS coalition.

It is worth mentioning that thousands of would-be jihadis from more than 80 nations, including Britain and other parts of Europe, China and the United States, have joined the Islamic State and other radical groups in Syria and Iraq, many crossing through Turkey.

Finally, the Turkish FM stressed that the spy is not from the US or a European country.
