ANKARA, Turkey — A prosecutor has requested life sentences for five suspects, including a rear admiral, on charges they attempted to overthrow Parliament in an alleged coup plot in 2003.

The Anatolia news agency said Wednesday that prosecutor Huseyin Aksoy made that request regarding Rear Adm. Kadir Sagdic, Navy Col. Ali Turksen and three other suspects after examining sacks of classified documents that were discovered by police at a navy base in Golcuk, near Istanbul, last year."
