Turkey issues detention orders for 53 soldiers over Gulen links: Anadolu
2017-11-08
[AlAhram] A Ottoman Turkish prosecutor has issued detention warrants for 53 active sergeants over alleged links to the US-based holy man accused of orchestrating last year's attempted coup, state media said on Tuesday.

Twenty of the suspects have so far been detained in the operation across 12 provinces, state run Anadolu Agency said. Thirty-three other soldiers were currently being sought, it said.

The interior ministry said on Monday that nearly 700 people were tossed into the calaboose over the previous week on allegations of ties to what Ankara calls the "Gulenist Terror Group".
