The leader of the attempted coup in Turkey is Col. Muharrem Kose, said the state-run Anadolu Agency, citing unnamed military sources.
The agency also says Kose, who headed the military's legal advisory department, was dismissed from the position a short time ago.
According to the source, other officers involved include Col. Mehmet Oguz Akkus, Maj. Erkan Agin and Lt. Col. Dogan Uysal.
