ANKARA, July 12 (Xinhua) -- Turkey issued detention warrants for 34 former staff of the state-owned broadcaster TRT in links with last July's failed coup, Dogan news agency said.

In a separate operation, police detained 14 non-commissioned army officers early on Wednesday in six provinces in an investigation into the coup attempt, it added.

So far, about 50,000 people have been jailed pending trial and some 150,000 state workers including teachers, judges and soldiers have been suspended in the crackdown.
