October 29, 2007 · Filed Under Terrorism, Terrorists, World News 

Azerbaijan said Monday it had foiled a radical Islamic group’s plot to carry out a “large-scale horrifying terror attack” near the U.S. Embassy.

The United States and Britain temporarily closed their embassies in Baku, capital of the former Soviet republic.

The National Security Ministry said one suspect was killed and several others were detained in a weekend sweep outside Baku.

“Several people belonging to a Wahhabi group have been detained. They were planning terrorist attacks near the U.S. Embassy in Baku,” said Arif Babayev, a spokesman for the National Security Ministry.
