ISTANBUL -- Turkish police raided offices at three Istanbul courthouses on Monday after detention warrants were issued for 173 judicial personnel as part of an investigation into last month's failed coup attempt, the private Dogan news agency reported on Monday.

 

Police were searching the offices of personnel facing detention at the main Istanbul Palace of Justice in the Caglayan district and two other court houses on the European side of the city, Dogan said.

 

Police took some of those detained away from Caglayan for questioning at a police station.
