The Turkish military has announced it has taken control and overthrown the government of Recep Erdogan as troops round up police and attack the capital Ankara.

Eyewitnesses have reported attack helicopters firing machine guns in the capital Ankara in a bid to depose the Islamic government.

The military said they have taken control in order to protect human rights, however, prime minister Binali Yildirim said only a 'faction' was involved.

Fast attack jets and helicopters were heard above Ankara and Istanbul after the military confirmed they had seized control of the country,.

Tracer fire from Turkish military helicopters was spotted over Ankara.

Time to flush the ter-let! I just hope the military leans to more capitalism and democracy. I know. Not that likely in the short term.

Turkey always cycles between military control and not-so-great civilian control.

Not much to see here!

John Kerry says in a transitional comment he hopes consistency prevails... code for the Islamic government to hold out. Obama mean while is reported to beg Allah for more than what Allah Wills.

Goodbye to bad rubbish. May his remaining hours be few and uncomfortable.

The news of a fellow islamist in trouble is big enough to maybe get Mr Obama off the golf course.
