Turkey detains 113 suspects over links to coup attempt in 2016
The Xinhua reported that Turkey on Tuesday detained at least 113 suspects over their alleged links to a network accused of orchestrating a coup attempt in 2016.
A detention warrant was issued for 185 suspects across 40 cities as part of an investigation into the Gulen Movement's influence on the Turkish armed forces, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.
The suspects were accused of infiltrating into the state bureaucracy and then attempting a coup on July 15, 2016.
Ankara has accused U.S.-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen of masterminding the attempted coup, in which at least 250 people were killed.
