"This terrorist organisation carried out the attack on the Ankara train station on the orders of the terrorist group in Syria and sought a suicide bomber of Turkish origin," Ankara prosecutors said in a statement.

A cell in the southeastern province of Gaziantep which borders Syria "planned attacks inside Turkey after taking direct orders from Daesh in Syria," the statement said, using an another acronym for ISIS.
