Turkey arrests 8 perpetrators of hotel attack against Erdogan

Turkey's security forces have arrested eight military personnel suspected of being involved in an airstrike on a hotel in Turkey's southwestern Marmaris where Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stayed during mid-July's attempted coup, local media said Monday.

The arrests were carried out in Marmaris after local residents discovered a suspicious group of people in a corn field, the Anadolu news agency reported.

Earlier, seven members of the military were arrested in southwestern Turkey's Mugla province.
