Turkish military attaches summoned home - then "go missing"

Three Turkish military attaches - two posted in Greece, and one in Bosnia-Herzegovina - are now "missing," according to Reuters.

The agency said this happened after the three received orders from Ankara to return home.

A high ranking Turkish official who asked to remain anonymous told Reuters they were summoned back as part of investigations into the failed July coup.

• "We know the two military attaches in Greece tried to go abroad. The intelligence we received suggests they may have gone to Italy. If this is confirmed, we will let the Italian authorities know," the official said, according to the agency.

Meanwhile "the whereabouts of the attache in Bosnia is unknown," the official also said, adding that "a total of 160 members of the military wanted in connection with the July 15 failed coup are still at large, including nine generals."

However, the Turkish embassy in Sarajevo announced shortly after the report was published that the attache posted there was never summoned back to Ankara, and that he is currently in Bosnia, performing his duties.
