Turkish intelligence issued a warning that ISIS suicide bombers planned to attack hotels in Hatay, Ankara, and Istanbul in an attempt to target members of the Syrian opposition and Free Syrian Army in advance of the Geneva II talks. The army said it discovered and destroyed a 500-meter-long pipeline used for smuggling oil into Hatay from Syria. Two Russian nationals were detained by border guards after crossing into Turkey from Syria. Turkish officials closed the Cilvegözü border gate in Hatay after a car bomb targeted a nearby rebel-held border post in Syria, and closed the Öncüpınar border crossing in Kilis after clashes erupted across the border in Azaz between rebels and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham.
