Azerbaijani security services had killed two men suspected of plotting "terrorist attacks" in the secular ex-Soviet country with a mainly Muslim population, authorities said Friday.

The two Azerbaijani nationals were shot dead during a special operation Wednesday night, the oil-rich Caucasus nation’s State Security Service said in a statement, adding that another suspected "terrorist" had been arrested.

"The armed group, the Caucasus Jamaat, has been planning terrorist attacks in Azerbaijan and had links with terrorist organizations involved in armed conflicts abroad," the statement said without giving further details.
