At least 160 people have been killed and more than 1000 wounded following an attempted military coup in Turkey.
More than 2000 military personnel have also been arrested.
Live TV images showed dozens of rebel soldiers abandoning their tanks on Istanbul’s Bosporus bridge early Saturday morning, as the country’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted the take over had failed. He has now flown to Istanbul.
Erdogan had earlier urged supporters to take to the streets to oppose the plotters via his smart phone during an interview with a Turkish broadcaster.
29 colonels and five generals have reportedly been removed from their posts, while the head of Turkey’s armed forces, General Hulusi Akar, who was apparently taken hostage during the attempted coup, has been freed.
In the capital Ankara, officials say attacks on the Turkish parliament and presidential place have largely stopped despite reports that a faction of the military continue to fight and have control of some helicopters.
