Turkey arrests US diplomat over passport handover
Turkish police say they arrested a US diplomat at Istanbul airport last month where they suspect he handed over his own passport to a Syrian national.
Officers say the Syrian man, identified as RS, was trying to fly to Germany using the document.
The American man is said to work at the US consulate in Beirut and had $10,000 in cash when arrested.
CCTV footage from the incident on 11 November shows the men swapped clothes at the airport, police said.
