The arrests occurred during a police operation in the district of Esenyurt of Istanbul, the sources said Andalou, speaking on condition of anonymity because of restrictions on talking to the media.
During the attack, 39 people were killed and dozens injured after a gunman opened fire in the early morning hours of the New year, turning a night of revelry into a nightmare. It was a discouraging start to the new year, which was preceded by numerous acts of terrorism in 2016.
Within 3 days after the shooting Turkish police said they have identified the suspect and distributed his portrait, but did not name him. At that time, the authorities announced that he acted alone. ISIL has claimed responsibility for the attack. Analysts say the recognition LIH potential turning point. ISIS, as a rule, abstains from responsibility for attacks in Turkey, to create "an atmosphere of suspicion in Turkish politics," says the analyst Soner Cagaptay for CNN in 2016.
