From Syria to Baku: Terror plot foiled after teen ISIS-K cell busted before planned embassy attack

Azerbaijan has foiled a chilling terror plot in its capital, arresting three young suspects accused of planning an embassy attack under ISIS-K guidance. Authorities say the teens had acquired weapons and were preparing to strike in central Baku, triggering fears of a Crocus-style massacre. Israeli media claimed the intended target was Israel’s embassy. The arrests come amid fresh global anxiety over ISIS-K’s reach, as chaos in Syrian detention camps fuels fears of escaped militants reseeding cells across Eurasia. From Moscow to the Caucasus, security agencies now warn that ISIS-K’s shadow is spreading far beyond Afghanistan.
