A Turkish court ordered the arrest of the editor-in-chief of Cumhuriyet, Can Dundar, and the newspaper’s Ankara correspondent, Erdem Gul, the television channel said.
Turkish media reports said that the two faced a number of charges including membership of an armed terrorist organization and the publishing of material in violation of state security following the release of the footage in May.
Reuters was not immediately able to verify the reports.
The video, purporting to show Turkish police opening crates of weapons and ammunition bound for Syria on the back of state security agency trucks, prompted President Tayyip Erdogan to vow revenge, saying he would not forgive such reporting.

What "armed terrorist organization" do these journalists belong to - the newspaper?
Does this not remind you of Obama ad-Dajjal, who persecutes whistle blowers for informing We The People about similar acts committed by him?
And doesn't "vowing revenge" remind you of Hillary, who reportedly seeks to crush all her enemies ... even comedians and talk show hosts?
What kind of "leaders" are these people? In no way do they fit MY definition of leader of a democratic nation.
What do you think? Our nation is still a democracy, and we still have freedom of speech and of the press, right?
Or did the Paris attacks of 11/13 change that, too?
"Democracy is like a streetcar. You ride it until you arrive at your destination and then you step off."
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Perhaps President Erdogan, Obama ad-Dajjal, and Hillary have stepped off the democracy streetcar, but that does not mean We The People have to step off with them.
