CIA spies hired as teachers at Gülen-linked schools
The network of U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen, dubbed the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) by Turkish officials and prosecutors, employed CIA spies to work as English teachers at their schools in Central Asian Turkic republics. On March 8, the Ankara 17th Court of Serious Crimes approved the indictment against 221 suspects, including Gülen himself, said to be the central figure behind the bid to overthrow the government last summer.
