The group of 16 was detained in the Turkish border of town of Gaziantep.

Four of the men were detained for helping arrange documents for the group to enter Turkey. They were also arrested for helping 21 other Indonesians join ISIL terrorists.

The fifth detainee was taken for encouraging people to join the terrorist group operating in Syria and neighboring Iraq on his website and for uploading videos showing children being trained by the terrorists.

Turkey has been accused of failing to control its 901-kilometer (560-mile) border with Syria and allowing terrorists easy passage into Syria

ISIL, with members from several Western countries, controls parts of Syria and Iraq, and has been carrying out horrific acts of violence such as public decapitations and crucifixions against all communities in the two countries.

Turkey is known as staunch supporter of Takfiri groups including ISIL.
