Initial investigations revealed that the suspects, who had pledged allegiance to the so-called caliphate of the Daesh organization, had expressed their intention to carry out terrorist projects targeting vital facilities and security institutions, in parallel with their adherence to campaigns inciting violence, said the same source.
The same research showed that one of the members of this terrorist cell, who has knowledge in the electronics field, had planned to manufacture explosive devices, the statement stressed.
