"Turkish court orders arrest of 102 in plot" by Associated Press | July 24, 2010
ANKARA, Turkey — A court ordered the arrest yesterday of 102 people, including at least three retired military commanders, as they await trial on charges of conspiring in 2003 to overthrow the Islamic-rooted government in a coup....
Most were detained in February — but subsequently released — after a newspaper, Taraf, published what it said were leaked copies of documents detailing their plans. The newspaper said the officers and others plotted to blow up mosques in the hopes of stirring chaos that could trigger a military takeover.

No wonder relations have gotten so rocky with the elected government and Israel.
The military, which has overthrown four governments since 1960, has denied such a plot.
I know they have to say that; however, they don't expect us to believe them.
More than 400 people, including pro-secular academics, journalists, politicians, and soldiers, are already on trial on separate charges of plotting to bring down the government. That group is suspected in plots to kill Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Yeah, you gotta purge the parasites.
Critics allege the cases are built on flimsy evidence and illegal wiretaps....
Oh, so it is like a terrorism trial in the U.S.
