Turkey army says it has seized power; PM says elected government still in charge
Turkey's military said it had seized power, but the prime minister said the attempted coup would be put down.
If successful, the overthrow of President Tayyip Erdogan, who has ruled Turkey since 2003, would amount to one of the biggest shifts in power in the Middle East in years.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the elected government remained in office. President Erdogan, who did not immediately address the nation but who was reported to be "safe", later said the uprising was an attempt by a military minority.
Attack in Nice: With 84 dead, France investigates whether truck attacker acted alone
French authorities were trying to determine whether a Tunisian who killed at least 84 people by ploughing a truck into Bastille Day crowds had acted alone or with accomplices, but said the attack bore the hallmarks of Islamist militants.
At least 10 children were among the dead. Of the scores of injured, 25 were on life support, authorities said on Friday.
Witness Franck Sidoli said he had watched people mown down before the truck finally stopped just 5m away from him. "A woman was there, she lost her son. Her son was on the ground, bleeding," he told Reuters at the scene.
Attack in Nice: Handsome but 'frightening', truck driver had run-ins with the law
Described by his neighbours as a handsome but "frightening" man, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, who killed at least 84 people in the French city of Nice by driving his truck into a crowd, had run-ins with the law but was not on militant watch lists.
While a history of threats, violence and theft had brought him to the attention of police, Bouhlel, a 31-year-old Nice resident born in Tunisia, was not French intelligence services' list of suspected militants.
He was convicted for the first time in March this year, for road rage, French Justice Minister Jean-Jacques Urvoas said. "There was an altercation between him and another driver and he hurled a wooden pallet at the man," Urvoas told reporters.
