Turkey Freezes Assets of 770 People for Terror Links


ISTANBUL (AP) – Turkey froze the assets of 770 Turkish nationals and a Chicago-based foundation, according to a decision published Friday in the country’s official gazette. The list of targets includes 454 people with alleged links to cleric Fethullah Gulen, who lives in the United States. The Turkish government accuses Gulen and his network of being behind a bloody coup attempt in 2016. Gulen has denied the allegation. The list published Friday shows 119 other people had assets frozen for links to the Daesh terrorist group, Al-Qaeda, the al-Nusra Front and other “terror groups that abuse religion.”
