Cyprus authorities have detained a man on suspicion of being involved in planning a terrorist attack on the east Mediterranean island.
A police spokesman said officers have "an individual in custody on possible charges pertaining to terrorism laws".
State radio CyBC quoted an unidentified senior police official as saying "Israeli interests" in the town of Limassol were to be targeted. CyBC said the suspect, a foreign national, was arrested a week ago. An official at the Israeli Embassy in Nicosia refused to comment.
