The US based Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) added the July 15 failed coup attempt in Turkey to the World Factbook on its website.

The website said that 'elements of the Turkish Armed forces' attempted a coup at key government and infrastructure locations in Ankara and Istanbul.

It also marked that 300 people were killed and over 2,000 injured and that Turkish citizens took to the streets to confront the coup.

The CIA described the Gülenist terror cult, whose leader Fethullah Gülen is wanted by Turkey as the prime suspect in the putsch attempt, as a 'social and religious movement'.
