Preventing Munich attack was ‘mission impossible’
With thousands of soft targets such as malls etc. surrounding us, security services can’t protect them all. If they did, we’d live in a police state and under constant surveillance, says James Conway, ex FBI agent and CEO of Global Intel Strategies.

Turkey detains key aide to US-based 'coup mastermind' Gulen

Turkey's authorities have detained the "right hand" of US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen, who President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused of masterminding the failed coup attempt, a presidency official said.

Saturday, Muhammet Sait Gulen, Fettulah Gulen’s nephew, was arrested on the orders of the chief prosecutor of Ankara. He is the first of Gulen’s close relatives to be detained in the current crackdown, though other members of the Pennsylvania-based preacher’s family have previously been placed in custody.
The arrested coup plotters “are starting to confess,” Erdogan told France-24 television in an interview on Saturday, stressing that, according to the testimonies of the coup leaders, they “were given instructions from Pennsylvania.”
“They even tried to get the army chief of staff, who was being held hostage, to speak to Gulen directly,” Erdogan told France-24.
Similar information has been reported by the Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency, which said that those who took the Chief of the General Staff hostage during the attempted coup demanded that he speak with Gulen.
Turkey has repeatedly demanded that the US extradite Gulen, and has said it will submit an official extradition request for him within days.
