MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Daesh terrorists are likely to carry out an attack between Friday and Monday in the Kizilay neighborhood in central Ankara, where the US embassy and large malls are situated, the document said, as quoted by the Turkish Cumhuriyet newspaper.

The warning, classified as secret, did not exclude the possibility that the members of the UN and other diplomatic missions may be subjected to the terrorist attacks.

The security service added that that the terrorists were likely to use white Renault, Ford, Hyundai or Fiat car to carry out attacks.

On August 24, Turkish forces, backed by US-led coalition aircraft, began a military operation dubbed the Euphrates Shield to clear the Syrian border town of Jarabulus and the surrounding area of the Islamic State. As Jarabulus was retaken, the joint forces of Ankara, the coalition and Syrian rebels continued the offensive southwest.
