Chaos follows coup

By Duncan Mil

July 18, 2016 - Turkey has arrested 6,000 people after a failed coup. The overall death toll for the weekend violence has risen to 290, the foreign ministry said. More than 100 of those were participating in the coup.

President Erdogan has repeated an accusation that U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen was behind the plot, and called for him to be extradited from the United States. Gulen strongly denies any involvement.
