The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the British Secret Intelligence Service offered to help Azerbaijan to combat terrorism.

As reported by Day.az, the U.S. and British intelligence services volunteered to investigate the recent terrorist threats. The officials in the U.S. Embassy in Baku did not rule out the possibility.

A series of major terrorist acts was prevented nearby Embassies and state institutions in the Azerbaijani capital. The Azeri Ministry of National Security reported to have detained four terrorists and killed one. The other members of the gang are being searched.

The terrorists' main target was the U.S. Embassy.

Diplomatic representations of other states fear that the terrorist threat still exists.

The British Embassy suspended activities. The U.S. Embassy closed the consular department.
