Turkey detains suspected IS suicide bomber
Turkey’s state-run news agency says police have detained a Syrian Islamic State member suspected of planning a suicide attack against the US Consulate in Istanbul.
Anadolu Agency says the man was detained in Kahramanmaras, a province close to the border with Syria. It didn’t cite a source for the report.
The US Consulate was closed down last week over an unspecified threat. Unconfirmed Turkish news reports had said the closure was related to intelligence that an IS militant planning attacks had crossed into Syria from Turkey.
