Only previously arrested for petty crimes. Goes to show that you don't have to be on the radar to commit atrocities. That said, I'm pretty sure they won't tell us for a while if he was being tracked.
Just got wind of an attempted coup in Turkey by a section of the military -- reports.

A coup d'etat in all its glory. Not surpised. Well yeah a little. The president is not that great since he wants to transform Turkey in a more conservative country, more religious, etc.

Big things happening there.

Livefeed for the coup attempt. The government says its bback in charge. No telling what the current situation is, but it looks better right now for people who don't want a military dictatorship.

As I've said in the past, loose organization. All kinds of people, not all who represent their cause.
