Turkey arrests two journalists on terrorism charges
Two prominent Turkish journalists were arrested on Thursday on charges of assisting terrorists, CNN Turk said, after they published footage that purported to show the state intelligence agency helping send weapons to Syria.
A Turkish court ordered the arrest of the editor-in-chief of Cumhuriyet, Can Dundar, and the newspaper's Ankara correspondent, Erdem Gul, the television channel said. Turkish media reports said that the two faced a number of charges including membership of an armed terrorist organisation and the publishing of material in violation of state security following the release of the footage in May.
