Turkey coup attempt: Erdogan 'snatch squad' soldiers captured
1 August 2016 Europe
Turkey says it has captured all but one of the soldiers accused of trying to seize the president during last month's failed coup.
Special forces arrested another 11 soldiers overnight after a two-week manhunt near Marmaris.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan was on holiday at the resort in south-west Turkey on the night of the coup attempt, but fled before his hotel was raided.
The fugitives were located in a forested area, reports say.
