The Obama administration 'will consider' extraditing cleric, Fethullah Gulen (right), who is accused of orchestrating a failed coup attempt in Turkey, but only if the county's government can prove his wrongdoing. Gulen has harshly condemned the attempted coup attempt by military officers that resulted in a night of explosions, air battles and gunfire that left more than 150 people dead. But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government is blaming the chaos on the cleric, who lives in exile in Pennsylvania and promotes a philosophy that blends a mystical form of Islam with staunch advocacy of democracy, education, science and interfaith dialogue. Erdogan has long accused Gulen, a former ally, of trying to overthrow the government. But Washington has never found any evidence. President Barack Obama urged all sides in Turkey on Friday to support the democratically elected government in Turkey, a key NATO ally.
