According to Azerbaijani publication Minval, the State Security Service of Azerbaijan reported this on Friday, March 6.
The State Security Service reported that it had uncovered and disrupted terrorist plans developed by representatives of the IRGC. Three explosive devices were delivered to the territory of Azerbaijan for their realization.
Azerbaijani security forces prevented the transfer of explosive devices to third parties who planned to use them against strategically important facilities and representatives of religious communities.
The possible targets of the attacks could have been the Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline, the Israeli Embassy in Azerbaijan, an Ashkenazi synagogue and a leader of the mountain Jewish community.
