US EditionAzerbaijan Arrests Three over Planned Attack on Foreign Embassy in Baku
Three suspects linked to Islamic State Khorasan Province were arrested in Baku for planning an embassy attack, charged with terrorism on religious hostility grounds.
- On Tuesday, Azerbaijan's State Security Service announced three suspects were arrested in Baku over a planned attack on a foreign embassy.
- Azerbaijan's State Security Service said the three men conspired with ISKP members and were charged with preparation for terrorism on the basis of religious hostility.
- The suspects included the three men—one born in 2000, two born in 2005—who obtained weapons while planning the embassy attack; the statement did not name the embassy, though Israel's Channel 12 reported it was Israeli.
- Authorities said the investigation is ongoing, and a separate case last October saw an Azerbaijani court sentence an ISIS-K affiliate to 13 years, reflecting foiled IS-linked plots in the region.
- On Monday, Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan, met Gideon Saar, Israeli Foreign Minister, in Baku amid reports the Israeli embassy was the alleged target; ISKP claimed the 2024 Moscow concert attack killed nearly 150 people.
