Two suicide bombers have blown themselves up near the Turkish capital, Ankara, after they were approached by police. The militants, believed to be a male and female, were suspected of planning to carry out a car bomb attack, the state-run Anadolu news agency reports.
According to The Nation, they detonated the devices after they were asked to surrender their weapons. Police had been acting on a tip-off, Ankara’s governor said, suggesting a link to Kurdish separatists.
Erkan Topaca said police had found the pair hiding at a horse farm in the district of Haymana, just outside the capital.
He said:
Plastic explosives and ammonium nitrate were found with the vehicle.

“The organisation they are connected to is not clear yet but according to information we have received it is highly likely that [the man] is linked to the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party).”The BBC says the pair were said to be flying a Turkish flag from their car as cover and a third person is now being sought.
