Agence France-Presse Updates on Coup Attempt in Turkey

Following-up from previously, "Turkey Coup d'État Risks Major Ramifications for U.S. Foreign Policy (VIDEO)."

Again, news is breaking very quickly and it's unclear who's in control, although I have my doubts that the coup plotters will be successful. Still, where's Erdoğan? As long as he remains out of the country, there's no saying how things will turn out. This is the real thing. Wow.

Here's some of the latest from AFP on Twitter, and note that events might prove different as we move along:
