A Turkish news agency says police have foiled an alleged plot to bomb US companies in the country.
Police arrested three suspects belonging to a leftist militant group during a raid in Istanbul, a Turkish news agency reported. Authorities seized a remote-controlled toy car allegedly being prepared to be used in a bombing.
Police also seized a list of US companies that the DHKP-C group was targeting, including Coca Cola, Pepsi and Citibank.
The DHKP-C is listed as a terror group by the US and EU, and has been active since the 1970s.
