Turkey arrests suspects for threat to Dutch consulate

The Turkish intelligence service MIT and the police have launched an investigation into a possible threat that Islamic State wanted to carry out attacks on the Dutch and Swedish consulates in Istanbul. It followed the riot two weeks ago in The Hague and Stockholm around a tearing up and burning of a Koran. Turkish media report that the intelligence agency feared that the Afghan branch of the terror group had ordered supporters in Turkey to carry out the attacks.
