ISLAMISTS IN TURKEY ARREST EVEN MORE MILITARY SECULARISTS

THE AKP'S WAR ON SECULARISM IS GETTING WORSE:

Turkish authorities have detained a further 18 people over an alleged plot to create chaos and trigger a military coup, local media say.

The suspects, 17 of whom are military officers on active duty, were rounded up in a nationwide operation, CNN-Turk and Haber-Turk TV channels said.

Another 49 officers were detained on Monday, 31 of whom have been charged.

The case has increased tension between Turkey's military and its Islamist-rooted ruling party.

News of the arrests came shortly after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed that any conspirators would face justice.

WE SHOULD TOSS TURKEY OUT OF NATO.

UPDATE: an hour later NRO's Stuttaford notices and is also very alarmed.
