STORYLINE:
Turkish police have detained 67 suspects over their alleged links to a network accused of orchestrating a coup attempt in 2016, the country's Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on Wednesday.
The police have carried out simultaneous raids as part of an operation known as "Clamp-7" across 14 Turkish provinces, including Ankara, the minister said on social media platform X, without specifying the time of the raids.
Video footage posted on the minister's X account showed police capturing suspects in apartments and buildings and putting them into vehicles.
The suspects allegedly belong to the military structure of the Gulen movement, which was accused by the Turkish government of attempting a coup that killed at least 250 people on July 15, 2016
