(AP) Four men suspected of planning terrorist attacks were arrested Sunday in western North Macedonia, authorities said.
Interior Minister Panche Toshkovski said the arrests were made during raids on several locations in the western towns of Struga and Gostivar. The four men are suspected of being “part of terrorist organizations (and) have been under surveillance for a long time.”
All are Macedonian nationals and were expected to face an investigating magistrate Sunday.
Toshkovski did not specify what terrorist organizations the suspects were connected with. “We have reasonable suspicion that they are connected to groups supporting certain extremist and religious organizations,” he said.
