Turkey has formally requested the extradition of cleric
Fethullah Gulen from the United States, the prime minister said Tuesday, as the
government widens its purge following a failed military coup over the weekend.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan blames Gulen, a longtime bitter rival, for the attempted coup that
began Friday night, which left at least 232 people dead and gave way to mass
arrests and dismissals. He is believed to have a hand in it.
