Turkish police on Tuesday arrested 12 suspects including active-duty soldiers for their alleged links to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), the group behind the 2016 coup attempt, judicial sources said.
The arrests followed warrants issued by prosecutors for 50 suspects.
Police has launched simultaneous operations in 32 provinces across Turkey to nab the remaining suspects.
FETÖ and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, which left 251 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured.
Ankara accuses FETÖ of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
