Anadolu said the suspect was wanted for questioning after his wife and daughter were detained in the Black Sea city of Amasya. The man's wife and daughter were detained over alleged links to the network of US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, Anadolu said, blamed by Ankara for orchestrating the abortive putsch. "US consulate worker N.M.C., husband and father of the suspects in question, has no diplomatic immunity and has been called to the prosecutor's office to testify," Anadolu quoted a statement from the Istanbul prosecutor's office as saying. On Sunday, the US mission in Turkey and the Turkish mission in Washington cut back visa services after Metin Topuz, a US consulate employee, was arrested in Turkey last week. The prosecutor's office said that testimony from Topuz pointed to the two suspects detained in Amasya being high-ranking members of Gulen's network.
