Failed coup

Turkey's prosecutor includes CIA, FBI in coup allegations

Two top U.S. intelligence bodies are being accused in an indictment of providing training to followers of the alleged mastermind behind the failed coup in Turkey, state-run Anadolu Agency said Thursday.

"The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) provided training in several subjects to the cadre belonging to the Gulen movement," the indictment was quoted as saying.

It was referring to Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim cleric based in the United States. The Turkish government has been accusing Gulen and his followers in the military of orchestrating the coup bid.

Ankara has demanded that the U.S. extradite Gulen, but Washington insists on "concrete evidence" linking Gulen to the July 15 coup attempt as a precondition for his extradition.
