Turkish police have foiled an alleged plot to bomb U.S. companies in the country.
Police arrested three suspects belonging to a leftist militant group during a raid in Istanbul. Authorities seized a remote-controlled toy car allegedly being prepared to be used in a bombing.
Police also seized a list of U.S. companies that the DHKP-C group was targeting, including Coca Cola, Pepsi and Citibank.
