The terrorists, who had earlier been involved in armed attacks on behalf of the PKK organization, were detained along with a cache of guns, hand grenades, explosives and documentation of the organization’s operations staged in the Esenyurt and Uskudar neighborhoods, Muammer Guler said.

 

"It is certain that these three terrorists were preparing for a sensational attack against certain people or institutions, and we will find out their targets during the interrogation," he also said.

 

The PKK, which launches cross-border attacks on Turkey from bases in northern Iraq, is listed as a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States.  �
