Turkey spy agency brings back 6 Gulenists

ISTANBUL: Turkey’s spy agency on Thursday brought back from Kosovo six members of US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen’s movement blamed by the government for orchestrating the 2016 coup, Turkish state media reported. In an operation carried out between Turkey’s National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) and Kosovo‘s spy services, six high-ranking members of the Gulen movement were brought back home on a private plane, Anadolu news agency reported, citing security sources. The suspects, whose pictures after capture were published by Anadolu, were allegedly in charge of Balkan activities of FETO — an acronym Ankara uses to describe the movement — and of allegedly infiltrating the group’s members into Europe and the United States, it added.
