Turkey Detains Over 1,000 In Latest Anti-Terror Raids

Turkish authorities have detained 1,098 people over the last week for suspected links to militant groups or last year's failed coup attempt, the interior ministry said on today.

In a statement, the ministry said 831 of those were detained for suspected ties to the U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Ankara blames for orchestrating an attempted coup in July. Gulen denies any involvement.
