Turkey 'foils Nato summit attack'

Police seized various items in the raids last Thursday

Turkish police have arrested 16 people on suspicion of planning to bomb next month's Nato summit in Istanbul.

The suspects - held in Bursa - were members of the radical Islamic group Ansar al-Islam, believed to have links to al-Qaeda, police said.

Guns, explosives, bomb-making booklets and 4,000 CDs with training advice from Osama Bin Laden were also seized.

US President George W Bush and other world leaders are due at the summit being held on 27 and 28 June.
