Turkish police have uncovered and foiled an alleged plot by Al-Qaeda
to bomb the US embassy in Ankara, as well as a synagogue and other
targets in Istanbul, Turkish media reported on Friday.
As a result of a February raid in Istanbul and the northeastern city
of Corlu, police had arrested 12 people, including eight Turks, two
Azeris and two Chechens, and seized 22 kilogrammes of explosives,
CNNTurk reported.
Police also found documents that allegedly revealed plans by the
group, which they described as a Turkish cell of Al-Qaeda, to attack
a synagogue and a museum in Istanbul.
The embassy in Ankara was the target of a suicide bombing on February
1, which killed a Turkish security guard. That attack was claimed by
a radical Marxist and anti-US armed group, The Revolutionary People's
Liberation Front (DHKP-C), blacklisted by the US and the European
Union as a terrorist organisation.
