Turkish police wage new crackdown against military

None

Turkish police have searched the homes of dozens of former military personnel, including one retired general, in a new probe against the military.

 

They are accused of pressuring the country's first pro-Islamic prime minister to resign in 1997 for allegedly trying to increase the profile of Islam in this predominantly Muslim but secular country. (AP)
