By Nicolas Cheviron (AFP) – 4 hours ago
ISTANBUL — Turkish investigators grilled more than 40 military figures on Tuesday, including the retired heads of navy and air force, after mass arrests over an alleged plot to oust the Islamist-rooted government.
In the most dramatic move to date against the armed forces, anti-terror police detained the suspects Monday over a purported plan codenamed 'Operation Sledgehammer', drawn up in 2003 soon after the Justice and Development Party (AKP) came to power."
