to commit a terrorist attack against the embassy of the foreign
country in Azerbaijan have been arrested, Trend reports, citing the press service of the
State Security Service (SSS).
During the operational-investigative measures carried out by the
State Security Service (SSS), reasonable suspicions arose that

The aforementioned individuals entered into criminal relations
with members of the ISIS terrorist organization's

terrorist attack on the embassy of a foreign state in the Republic
of Azerbaijan and were detained by the employees of the SSS while
approaching the area where the embassy was located.

Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan (preparation for terrorism on
