Istanbul - Turkish police have arrested 45 suspected members of al-Qaeda in eight districts of Istanbul. The militants were reportedly planning attacks against foreign embassies.

In January, police carried out raids at 18 locations in southeastern Turkey after receiving information that an al-Qaeda cell was planning car bomb attacks. One police officer and four militants were killed in a gunfight. Seventeen people were arrested.
