Turkish police have detained six people with Russian passports who allegedly plotted an attack on foreigners and tried to obtain classified data, the CNN Turk broadcaster reported on Saturday, citing law enforcement sources.

Those detained were under surveillance immediately after they entered Turkey, the broadcaster said.
