(MENAFN- Arab News) ANKARA: A Turkish court has issued arrest warrants for four prosecutors and one military officer in a controversial case over the interception last year of trucks that allegedly contained arms bound for neighboring Syria reports said Thursday.
The four prosecutors had been reassigned and then suspended after they ordered the search of several trucks and buses in the southern provinces of Hatay and Adana near the Syrian border in January 2014 on suspicions of smuggling 'ammunition and arms' into Syria.
A series of documents had circulated on the Internet indicating that the seized trucks were actually National Intelligence Agency vehicles delivering weapons to radicals fighting the Syrian regime. Turkey has denied aiding rebels in Syria.
