Turkish special forces have captured a group of rebel commandos for
their alleged involvement in an attempt to kidnap President Tayyip
Erdogan during the failed military coup. According to a government
official, they were able to pinpoint the location of the 11 fugitive
commandos in forested hills around the Mediterranean resort of Marmaris,
after a two-week manhunt involving around 1,000 members of the security
forces.
The 11 soldiers are believed to be part of a group
that raided a hotel in the south-western beach town of Marmaris, where
Erdoğan was holidaying with his family on the night of the July 15 coup
bid. The president was however tipped off and fled before they arrived.
