Ankara vows to root out allies of exiled cleric Gulen

PM Yildirim accuses Washington of double standards in its fight against terrorism

Turkey vowed on Tuesday to root out allies of the US-based cleric it blames for a failed coup attempt last week, after an already deep purge of the army, police and judiciary, and said it had sent Washington evidence of his wrongdoing.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the government accuse Fethullah Gulen of orchestrating an attempted military takeover on Friday in which at least 232 people were killed, and have called for his extradition from the United States.
