A Turkish chief prosecutor has indicted dozens of secularists accused of involvement in an alleged coup plot last year.
Istanbul chief prosecutor Aykut Cengiz Engin told reporters that charges to be laid against the defendants included forming, helping or being a member of a terrorist group. The nearly 2,500-page indictment named 86 defendants, of which 48 are in custody. It targets the shadowy ultra-nationalist group, Ergenekon, which first came to light a year ago when a cache of explosives was discovered in a police raid on a house in Istanbul.
