Turkish security forces detain 46 former police officers over alleged Gulen links

Turkish security forces have detained 46 former police officers suspected of being linked to the movement of US-based Muslim cleric Fetullah Gulen, Anadolu news agency said on Monday.

Prosecutors have issued a total of 64 arrest warrants, and security forces detained 46 suspects in a nationwide operation, according to the report.

Ankara accuses what is refers to as the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) of having orchestrated the coup attempt on July 15, 2016. Gulen denies any involvement in the coup.
