Turkey seeks arrest of ex-CIA officer Fuller over coup plot

Source: BBC

Turkey's chief prosecutor has issued an arrest warrant for former CIA officer Graham Fuller.

The prosecutor accuses Mr Fuller, former vice-chair of the US National Intelligence Council, of having links to Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen.
...
More than 50,000 people have been arrested in Turkey pending trial over links to Mr Gulen.

Another 150,000 people have been sacked or suspended from jobs in the public and private sectors since the coup attempt on 15 July 2016.

because he is going to plead GUILTY to lying to our FBI...................and since old Flynn was going to kidnap a cleric here in the US and send him back to Turkey, it just seems odd, that this lackey in Turkey files this charge------------coincidence, me thinks not.

This plea agreement is going to expose the dictatorship in Turkey........................

IMO, Russia backed & organized that 'coup' , Russia funds terrorists like IS-, moved a bunch of Turkish military gear to Assad government during that 'coup' and plays Turkeys "Leader" like a fiddle along with the same email stealing/"altered reality facts".

Along with some of their longtime American 'buddies' "hired help".

IMO, IMO

Georgia says a Chechen jihadist killed in a clash with special forces in the Georgian capital Tbilisi was the suspected organiser of a terror attack on Istanbul airport last year.

Akhmed Chatayev, a member of so-called Islamic State (IS), was among three militants killed during a 20-hour siege in Tbilisi a week ago.

Georgian state security said DNA tests had confirmed that Chatayev blew himself up in the besieged apartment.
...
Turkish authorities named Chatayev as the suspected organiser. The airport was rocked by several suicide bomb blasts, and three attackers also died in the mayhem. Turkey blamed it on IS.
