ANKARA (Turkey) - THE state-run news agency says a court has charged four army officers with membership in a terrorist organization and ordered them jailed pending the outcome of their trial.
The four were among some 40 people detained this week as part of a widening investigation into an alleged ultranationalist plot to overthrow the Islamic-rooted government later this year.
The Anatolia news agency says the four charged on Saturday include two colonels and two lieutenants. The other suspects were still being interrogated.
Eighty-six people already are on trial for their alleged involvement in the plot.
On Friday, police discovered hand grenades, plastic explosive, shoulder-fired rockets and ammunition buried close to a road near Ankara. -- AP
