Turkish court orders re-arrest of 19 officers

A Turkish court has ordered the re-arrest of 19 serving and retired military officers charged with an alleged coup plot.

The reason behind the court's order is not clear. The 19, including eight retired military officers, were freed from detention on Thursday pending trial.

A retired four-star general and the former head of Turkey's First Army are among those who must be detained again.

The suspects were allegedly behind a coup plot to topple the government in 2003. The Turkish military has overthrown three governments in coups since 1960.

The latest arrests are said to have fueled the long-lasting dispute between the Turkish army and the government.
