Turkish security forces detain a Chechen carrying explosives and hand grenades who was planning an attack after illegally crossing from Syria, the army says.
The Chechen was one of 18 people, including women and children, detained while illegally crossing from Syria into Turkey’s southern Kilis region, the army says in a statement.
The individual was carrying a bag with some 1.5 kilos of explosives and two hand grenades. “The Chechen was planning an attack in the region,” it says, without specifying further.
