Turkey ex-air chief Akin Ozturk 'admits' to coup plot
A former Turkish air force commander
has confessed to planning last week's attempted military coup, the
state-run.
Gen Akin Ozturk was quoted as having told interrogators that he "acted with intention to stage a coup".
Photograph of the general appeared to show several injuries to his head and upper body.
The general had earlier denied any involvement in the coup attempt and insisted he worked to stop it.
It was earlier reported that he was one of 70 generals and admirals who had been detained. Eleven had so far been placed under arrest, it added.
More than 8,000 police officers were also suspended and forced to hand over their weapons as part of a purge of officials suspected of involvement.
