Istanbul: Turkey’s counterterrorism police have stopped two separate plots to launch terror attacks in the city of Istanbul, local media reported.
The police arrested two suspects who entered a shopping center in the Bayrampasa district with explosives after one of their bags suddenly caught fire while they were walking.
The two suspects, affiliated with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), listed as a terror group by Turkey, admitted that they planned to leave the bag with explosives in a store.
In another operation, police detained 11 suspects for plotting to start a forest fire by placing three devices susceptible to heat in a forest area in the Sultangazi district of Istanbul.
