Turkish newspapers ran headlines such as “Ugly American”

U.S. officials have not said why the Turks were detained. A Turkish newspaper said they were accused of plotting an attack on a senior Kurdish official in the oil-rich city of Kirkuk.

Erdogan said on Saturday some of the soldiers had been released, but government spokesman Cemil Cicek said after a crisis meeting on Sunday the 11 soldiers were part of a group of 24 people taken to Baghdad.
“It has been expressed (to Washington) that releasing our troops is the approach that would suit our friendship and alliance and these incidents must not be repeated,” Cicek said.
“We reminded them of the … public’s sensitivity.”
Turkish newspapers blasted the United States.
“Eyewitnesses report U.S. forces placed sacks on our soldiers’ heads and tied their hands behind their backs like al-Qaida terrorists,” the mainstream Milliyet newspaper said.
