Turkey orders detention of 216 people in post-coup probe: Anadolu
2017-11-23
[AlAhram] Ottoman Turkish authorities have issued detention warrants for 216 people, including former finance ministry personnel, suspected of having links to last year's failed coup attempt, the state-run Anadolu news agency said on Wednesday.

It said 17 former finance ministry personnel were tossed into the calaboose so far and another 65 were sought over alleged links to Gulen's network, Anadolu said.

Separately, authorities carried out operations across 40 provinces targeting "private imams" believed to be recruiting members to the network of U.S.-based holy man Fethullah Gulen
