Warrants were issued for one hundred and sixty-seven people in twenty-eight provinces.
Most of those targeted were members of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, which was responsible for the attack on the US Embassy, on February 1.
The group had already been designated a terrorist organization, by both the US and Turkey, and the bombing has just given Turkey official reason to go after them.
Others that were arrested were leaders and members of KESK, a leftist trade union group, which Turkey is saying has ties with terrorist organization.
Seventeen members of the Revolutionary Civil Servant Movement were also among those arrested.
