ISTANBUL, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Police detained 1,109 suspects in one of the largest operations targeting criminals and wanted suspects in Istanbul, local authorities announced on Wednesday.

The Istanbul Police Department said nearly 2,500 officers joined the overnight operation on Tuesday, along with a police helicopter and five boats from the marine police units.

During the operation, officers carried out identity checks on 374,952 people across the city. Among those detained were 595 suspects wanted for various crimes, police said.

Police also inspected hundreds of public venues and carried out extensive traffic checks across the city, issuing fines and taking administrative measures against violators.

Istanbul police regularly carry out security sweeps under the name "Peace Istanbul" to enhance public safety and target wanted suspects.

London is in the grip of the ongoing Epstein/Mandelson scandal, with Starmer (as everyone acknowledges) holed under the water line even if for the moment it suits his enemies - Rayner, Burnham etc - to leave him where he is, and the Epstein scandal also dominates discussion in the US. However we still have the twin ongoing crises in Ukraine and Iran. People who claim to know such things also say that there is a big financial crisis looming.

All this and much else to talk about today.

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
