Turkish police launched a third wave of raids yesterday, in which former Gendarmerie commander Fevzi Turkeri was detained and a dozen locations across Turkey were searched as part of a probe into the Feb. 28 postmodern coup of 1997.
Turkey is planning a new military incursion into northern Iraq targeting Kurdish rebels, a spokesman for the guerrillas said, adding that warplanes also launched an air raid on Saturday.
