US-based cleric behind Turkish coup: Erdoğan
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Saturday said US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gülen was behind Friday night's attempted coup. He claimed some in the military were taking orders from the Islamic cleric, who leads a transnational social movement. Gülen is a blacklisted "terrorist" in Turkey and was earlier accused by Erdoğan for instigating the 2013 corruption probe against him.
