A Protestant pastor in south-eastern Turkey says that six people have been arrested for conspiring to attack him.
A church leader in southeast Turkey said on Wednesday police had detained six people for plotting to attack him, just weeks after three people had their throats slit at a Christian publisher in the region.
Ahmet Guvener, the leader of a Protestant Christian church in the province of Diyarbakir, told reporters the six had been detained after he had complained of being threatened, both to his face and by mail.
Local police could not immediately confirm Guvener's statement.
Stratfor reports that some of the six are believed to have had contacts with some of those suspected in the recent gruesome torture and murder of three Christian workers in Malatya.
