Television reports say Turkish police have detained 18 more military officers over an alleged 2003 coup plot.

CNN-Turk and Haber-Turk televisions say 17 of the officers were on active duty. They say police detained them in 13 separate cities in a nationwide sweep on Friday.

The detentions are the second wave in the largest-ever crackdown on the country's military. Police earlier this week detained 49 officers, and a Turkish court has so far charged and jailed 31 of them so for plotting to overthrow the country's government.
