Turkish prosecutors ordered the detention of 103
soldiers with suspected links to the US-based Muslim cleric accused of
orchestrating a failed coup in mid-2016, RT reported on Friday.
In the latest operation, in Istanbul and 31 other
provinces, police have so far detained 74 people.
The 103 suspects, all on active service, include
colonels and lieutenant colonels, it said, adding that an investigation had
shown they had communicated over fixed-line and pay telephones.
Turkish police have carried out regular sweeps
against alleged supporters of the preacher Fethullah Gulen since the coup
attempt. Gulen denies involvement.
