Turkish leaders face court case
Turkey's constitutional court has decided unanimously that it can hear a case aimed at closing down the country's governing AK Party.
The chief prosecutor earlier filed a petition calling for the party to be banned for "anti-secular activities".
He also wants 71 AKP officials, including the prime minister and president, to be banned from politics.
The case revives a battle between Turkey's secularist establishment and the AK Party of devout Muslims...
Apparently not.
