Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Turkish authorities have arrested hundreds of people they suspect have ties to the purported leader of a failed overthrow of the government three and a half years ago, prosecutors said Tuesday.
More than 200 people were detained on warrants from prosecutors in the western Turkish city of Izmir. Among those arrested were six military fighter pilots and four local police chiefs, as well as dozens of active duty soldiers and former troops suspected of being linked to exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen.
