Turkish authorities have detained 267 suspects, 161 of them foreign nationals, for their alleged links to terrorist organizations, state news agency Anadolu reported on Saturday.
Police believe the suspected extremists had been plotting attacks for New Year's Eve, the report said without elaborating.
The suspects were detained during raids in 33 cities and provinces between December 20 and 31, Anadolu said, citing a statement from the Interior Ministry.
The nationalities of the foreign detainees have not been made public.
