Two suicide bombers killed in Turkey

Man and woman blow themselves up near Ankara

Newsroom October 8 10:15

A Turkish official says two suicide car bombers have blown themselves up in the outskirts of Ankara after being stopped by police.
Governor Erkan Topaca said the two bombers — a man and a woman — died in the incident Saturday outside a horse farm but no one else was hurt.
It’s been reported around 200kg of explosives were found at the scene.
Topaca says the assailants are thought to be linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which has carried out a series of suicide car bombings over the past year.
In August, a suicide bomber targeting an outdoor Kurdish wedding party in southeastern Turkey has left at least 51 people dead.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the grisly attack in Gaziantep, near the Syrian border, was carried out by a boy aged between 12 and 14 with reported ties to Islamic State.
