TURKEY ARRESTS 15 AL QAEDA OPERATIVES ABOUT TO ATTACK US EMBASSY

Turkey Said to Arrest 15 in Plots to Attack U.S. Embassy, Other Targets

ISTANBUL, Turkey — The police have detained 15 suspected Al Qaeda militants on evidence that they had plotted to attack several foreign diplomatic targets including the United States Embassy in Ankara, the Anatolian News Agency reported on Wednesday.

Security operations leading to the arrests were conducted in Ankara, the country’s capital, and in Yalova and Bursa, two religiously conservative towns in western Turkey. The operations were based on the statements of a leading suspect who was captured in Ankara after being watched by the authorities for six months, the report said.

According to the report, Ankara police officers seized more than 1,500 pounds of chemicals that are used in bomb making, along with two assault rifles, bullets, documents, and maps at the two-story house belonging to the cooperating suspect, whom they said had received military training in explosives and arms outside the country.
