Turkey charges two officers in coup-plot case

Two Turkish military officers were charged on Sunday over a plot to unseat the government, media said on Monday, the latest to be charged in a crackdown that has raised tension between the government and military.

More than 30 military officers, including two retired generals, have been charged in connection with an alleged 2003 plot to overthrow the government, which has roots in political Islam.
