A former top White House aide was reportedly offered $15m (£11.5m) to help forcibly remove a Muslim cleric from the US and deliver him to Turkey.

Ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn and his son discussed the alleged plot with Turkish representatives, NBC News and Wall Street Journal report.

His lawyer denounced the allegations as "outrageous" and "false".

The matter is said to have emerged in a justice department probe into alleged Russian meddling in the US election.

Mr Flynn quit his post after misleading the White House about meeting a Russian envoy before President Donald Trump took office in January.

The alleged plot to remove the cleric, Fethullah Gulen, was first revealed in March 2017 by former CIA director James Woolsey.

The Turkish government accuses Mr Gulen, who lives in the US state of Pennsylvania, of being behind last year's failed coup.

He is viewed as chief political rival to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has repeatedly called for Mr Gulen's extradition from the US.

According to the Wall Street Journal, special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation is focusing on a meeting in mid-December between Mr Flynn and Turkish officials in New York.

Mr Flynn reportedly discussed having Mr Gulen transported on a private jet to the Turkish prison island of Imrali.

I openly admit I don't know anything about this region. I'm mostly viewing this event through the lens of previous Turkish involvement in Syria and Libya.

Is this like a Balkans thing where they were culturally and linguistically similar for centuries but then like 100 years ago they used advanced race science to measure skulls and decide to kill each other or just like a religious thing?

I think the geography of the Caucuses did lead to the development of different dialects/languages/religious practices over time. Being at the periphery of three big empires for the first part of the modern era Russia/Iran/Ottomans also meant that no indigenous group really came to dominate in it's own right.
