Two Turkish generals detained in Dubai in coup attempt probe

ANKARA – Anadolu Agency
Two high-ranking Turkish soldiers on duty in Afghanistan were detained at Dubai Airport on July 26, as part of wide-ranging operations against what Ankara calls the “Fetullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ).”

Turkish Task Force Commander Major General Cahit Bakır and Kabul Training, Support and Advising Commander Brigadier General Şener Topuç were detained in Dubai as a result of Turkish Foreign Ministry and National Intelligence Agency (MİT) officials’ cooperation with the Emirati authorities. 

Bakır and Topçu were brought to Turkey early on July 26 for further legal processes.
