Turkish security forces detained 32 suspected members of the militant group Al-Qaida believed to have been planning attacks on Israeli, U.S. and NATO targets, state-run news agency Anatolian reported on Thursday.

The suspects were detained in simultaneous raids across eight provinces, it said, quoting security officials as saying some were believed to have been trained in Al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan.

Security officials found documents linking the suspects to the outlawed group during the raids.

"Teams from the Istanbul Anti-Terror Squad have launched an operation against Al-Qaida members found to be planning operations against U.S. and Israeli representative offices and NATO installations," Anatolian reported.

Separately, Anatolian said six people were facing charges over their involvement in Al-Qaida suicide bombings that killed some 60 people at two synagogues, an HSBC bank branch and the British consulate in Istanbul in 2003.

Seven militants, including a Syrian Al-Qaida member, were previously sentenced to life in prison for their role in the 2003 bombings.
