Two suicide bombers kill themselves after Turkish police call to surrender

ANKARA: Two suicide bombers detonated explosives, killing themselves in an area near the Turkish capital Ankara on Saturday after police called on them to surrender, CNN Turk and other broadcasters reported.

The state-run Anadolu Agency said the two militants were preparing to carry out a car bomb attack.



Earlier in August, at least 50 people were killed in a southeastern Turkish city close to Syria when a suspected suicide bomber linked to Islamic State extremists attacked a wedding thronged with guests, officials said Sunday.

In a message directed at the Islamic State, the Turkish President said: “Our country and our nation have again only one message to those who attack us – you will not succeed!” he said.
