Turkey issued arrest warrants today for 300 members of the presidential guard after last week's attempted coup, a Turkish official said.

Meanwhile, the Turkish government has cancelled 10,856 passports "due to flight risk -- including close to 10,000 green/grey (official) passports", with the holders either in custody or on the run, the official said.
