Two attackers detonated a bomb in front of Turkish government buildings in Ankara on Sunday in an assault that left both of them dead and two police officers wounded, in what authorities called the capital’s first terrorist attack in years.
In a speech at the opening of a new parliamentary session hours later, President Tayyip Erdogan called the morning attack"the latest attempt" to inflict terror on Turks. A senior Turkish official told Reuters the attackers had hijacked the vehicle and killed its driver in Kayseri, a city 260 km southeast of Ankara, before carrying out the attack. One of the injured officers suffered shrapnel injuries, he added.
Ankara's chief prosecutor launched an investigation on Sunday into what it also called a terrorist attack.
