A Turkish military court has sentenced a former oil worker to 12 1/2 years in prison for selling military secrets to Iraq, the semiofficial Anatolian news agency said Tuesday.

Ahmet Alver, 34, who formerly worked in southeast Turkey near the Iraqi border, was arrested in October on charges of selling military information to Iraqi Embassy officials for $5,000.
