US-based Turkish cleric Gulen fears plots

There are concerns the US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen may be attacked, amid claims by Turkey he was behind a failed coup attempt.

Lawyers for US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen say they're fearful of potential attacks against his life.

Speaking at a news conference in Washington, the lawyers said they expected the cleric, who has denied any involvement in last month's failed coup against Turkey's government, to remain in his Pennsylvania compound.
