A suicide bomber attacked the interior ministry building in Ankara, Turkey on Sunday wounding two police officers.
The bomber died upon detonating himself near the Turkish parliament while his companion was shot dead by police.
“Two terrorists arrived in a commercial vehicle at around 9:30 a.m., in front of the entrance gate of the General Directorate of Security of our Ministry of the Interior, and carried out a bomb attack,” the ministry said on social media.
TV channel NTV reported gunfire in the cordoned-off district, where emergency services were in attendance.
The attack happened ahead of the afternoon reopening of parliament where President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will deliver a speech, according to Turkish media.
