Turkish authorities say they have broken up a terrorist plot to conduct suicide attacks around the country, reports the Hurriyet Daily News (Istanbul).

Members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Syria (ISIS) terrorist group were captured while planning simultaneous suicide attacks in several Turkish provinces, officials said.

Seven suspects were captured in the provinces of Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır, Mardin, Afyonkarahisar, Ankara, Bursa and Adana. Judicial proceedings are underway at the provincial gendarmerie commands.

Six foreign national suspects who were operating in Iraq as part of ISIS were also caught in a police operation in Sakarya. Five were arrested and one freed by a judicial control decision.
