Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan said on Sunday that the terrorists who carried out a bomb attack in front of the Interior Ministry in Ankara failed in their attempt to threaten citizens' peace and security.
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.
The blast killed one of the terrorists and authorities "neutralized", or killed, the other, the interior minister said of the incident, which rattled a central district that is home to ministerial buildings and the nearby Turkish parliament.
The bomb on Ataturk Boulevard was the first in Ankara since 2016, when a spate of deadly attacks gripped the country.
