Turkish admiral, missing since the coup, turns up and is seeking asylum in the US.
Quote:
A high-ranking Turkish military officer has reportedly claimed asylum in the United States after authorities in Turkey linked him to the failed coup.
Mustafa Ugurlu had been on a posting to a Nato base in Virginia at the time of the 15 July botched coup.
Turkey has purged its military ranks of some 100 generals accused of being part of a shadowy movement that follows a US-based Turkish preacher.
Rear Adm Ugurlu disappeared on 22 July, a week after the coup.

Two Turkish military attaches go "missing" in Greece

Meanwhile 14 Turkish navy ships are still missing and have not been "found". My guess is NATO actually knows and isn't telling Turkey where they are.
