STORYLINE:
Turkish security forces have detained 18 suspects across seven provinces over alleged links to a network accused of orchestrating a coup attempt in 2016, the state-run TRT broadcaster reported Tuesday.
The suspects were allegedly linked to the Gulen movement, which the Turkish government accuses of attempting a coup that killed at least 250 people on July 15, 2016.
Also on Tuesday, an arrest warrant was issued for 23 suspects in line with the investigations by the prosecutor's office of the western province of Izmir into the "covered structure of the group (the Gulen movement) within the Turkish armed forces," said the TRT.
Nine of those wanted were soldiers, with six of them still active-duty members, whi
