"Yes, they were
all Islamic State members," Rakhat Sulaimanov, spokesman for the
GKNB security police, told Reuters. "Another seven were caught
during the operation yesterday."
"They had planned two terrorist attacks - one in the central
square (of Bishkek) during today's prayers ending the month of
Ramadan, and another one at the (Russian) airbase in Kant," he
added.
