ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's state-run news agency says a former police intelligence chief has been detained as part of an investigation into negligence by officials in the 2007 murder of an ethnic Armenian journalist. Akyurek was among hundreds of police removed from their posts amid a purge of officers believed to be linked to a movement led by a U.S.-based Islamic cleric, which is accused of orchestrating corruption allegations targeting officials.
