WATCH: Former CIA head warns of longterm tensions in Turkey

“Bad people” are going to exploit the tension in Turkey, former CIA director James Woolsey warned in an interview with Fox News following the failed coup attempt over the weekend that resulted in the death of more than 250 people and another 1,400 wounded.

Woolsey was asked: Is this just another bonfire in the Middle East, or is it much greater than that? In response, he discussed the unique challenges in Turkey, and offered suggestions as to how he thinks President  Recep Tayyip Erdogan could prevent further deterioration.
