ANKARA (AA) - Turkish prosecutors on Tuesday issued arrest warrants for 12 suspects for their links to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), the group behind the 2016 defeated coup.
Prosecutors in the capital Ankara issued warrants for the suspects, who allegedly used ByLock, an encrypted cellphone app used by coup-plotters.
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.
Ankara also accuses FETO of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
