Turkey Parliament Blast: An explosion shook the city of Ankara, marking what is being called the city’s first terrorist attack in years. Two assailants detonated a bomb in front of the Turkish Interior Ministry gate, resulting in the death of both terrorists and injuring two police officers. The blast occurred just hours before a parliamentary session was scheduled to convene. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the responsible parties remain unidentified. The attackers’ tactics involved one individual exiting the vehicle to throw a small explosive at the ministry building, while the second assailant opened fire on guards at the ministry gate before triggering a bomb.
