Syria has arrested a group of radical Islamist militants who planned to launch attacks inside the country, state television said on Friday.

The state-controlled TV channel did not give any details but said the confessions of the arrested men would be aired on Saturday.

Damascus says its security forces have clashed with
militants in recent months during raids to arrest them.

The authorities say they have also tightened the noose on
suspected Arab Islamists, arresting dozens and extraditing
scores to their home countries, including Saudi Arabia.

A not so subtle hint that Syria is willing to cooperate?
