ANKARA (Reuters) - A Turkish prosecutor has demanded life imprisonment for an opposition MP accused of providing a newspaper with video purporting to show Turkey's intelligence agency trucking weapons into Syria, state-run Anadolu news agency said on Wednesday.

Lawmaker Enis Berberoglu of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) is due to appear in court on charges of aiding an armed terrorist organization and making public information that was supposed to stay secret. Berberoglu has defended the video, saying it was genuine.
