Turkish security forces on Monday arrested 34 suspects, including on-duty soldiers, for their alleged links to Fetullah Terrorist Organization, the terror group behind the 2016 defeated coup, judicial sources said.
Earlier, prosecutors in the capital Ankara issued arrest warrants for 50 suspects across Turkey as part of probes into the FETO's clandestine network within the military, said the sources, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
Out of 50 suspects, 35 suspects are serving soldiers, they added.
Police launched simultaneous operations across 24 provinces to nab the suspects.
FETO and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, which left 251 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured.
