Turkey: 2 female terrorists who attacked Istanbul police identified as members of Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) terrorist group
Two female terrorists who opened fire and dropped hand-made bombs at the entrance of the Riot Police Directorate in Bayrampaşa on Thursday morning, on Istanbul’s European side, have been identified as members of the DHKP-C terror organization.
The two women, identified as Çiğdem Yakşi and Berna Yılmaz, were reported to have carried out the attack at 9.45 a.m. [0745GMT], prompting the police to retaliate with fire.
The two women then took refuge in a nearby building where they were surrounded by police who rapidly launched an operation after the pair ignored calls to surrender.
In later hours, media outlets reported that the two women assailants involved in the attack were killed.
