The incident unfolded at approximately 9:30 a.m. local time, sending shockwaves throughout the city.</p> <p>According to <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/p/subscription/1001" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anadolu news Agency, </a>two terrorists arrived at the entrance of the building in a light commercial vehicle. One of the assailants detonated explosives, resulting in his own demise. The other attacker was swiftly neutralized by security forces on the scene.</p> <p>During the attack, two police officers sustained injuries, and they are currently receiving medical attention. The precise extent of their injuries is yet to be confirmed.</p> <p>The timing of this horrifying incident is particularly significant, as it occurred just as parliament was scheduled to reopen, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan set to address the nation. It remains unclear whether the attack was directly aimed at the parliament or if it was merely coincidental.</p> <p>Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded to a recent terrorist incident in Ankara, where two police officers were injured when a terrorist detonated explosives in front of the Security Directorate General. Erdogan condemned the attack, describing it as the “last gasps of terrorism” and emphasized the importance of solidarity in the fight against terrorism. He stated that Turkey has made significant progress in addressing separatist terrorism within its borders over the past 40 years. Erdogan also pledged to continue the fight against terrorism until all terrorists, whether at home or abroad, are eliminated. The injured police officers are receiving medical treatment, and an investigation into the attack has been initiated by Ankara prosecutors.</p> <p>The Turkish capital, Ankara, has witnessed numerous attacks in recent years, particularly in 2015 and 2016, with many attributed to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and the Islamic State group. The PKK, considered a terrorist organization by Ankara and its Western allies, has been engaged in an insurgency against the Turkish state since 1984. One of the deadliest attacks occurred in October 2015 when the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for an attack in front of a central station in Ankara, resulting in the tragic loss of 109 lives.</p> <p>The most recent bomb attack in Turkey took place in November 2022 on a shopping street in Istanbul, leaving six people dead and 81 injured. Although no group claimed responsibility, Turkey accused the banned PKK of orchestrating the attack and detained 46 individuals, including a Syrian woman suspected of planting the explosive device. The ongoing security concerns in Turkey highlight the persistent threat of terrorism in the region.</p> <p>For more information and real-time updates, please stay tuned to Global News Break at gnbnow.com, where we will continue to cover this breaking news story as it unfolds.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://gnbnow.com/terror-attack-rocks-ankara-turkey/">Terror Attack Rocks Ankara, Turkey</a> appeared first on <a href="https://gnbnow.com">gnbnow</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>20 killed by IS-linked in Eastern Congo</title> <link>https://gnbnow.com/20-killed-by-is-linked-in-eastern-congo/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[GNB Desk and Reuters]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 09 Apr 2023 13:00:25 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Democratic Republic of Congo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Terrorism]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://gnbnow.com/?p=17937</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="696" height="392" src="https://gnbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65265403_906-1024x576.jpg" class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" srcset="https://gnbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65265403_906-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://gnbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65265403_906-300x169.jpg 300w, https://gnbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65265403_906-768x432.jpg 768w, https://gnbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65265403_906-150x84.jpg 150w, https://gnbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65265403_906-696x391.jpg 696w, https://gnbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65265403_906-1068x600.jpg 1068w, https://gnbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65265403_906-747x420.jpg 747w, https://gnbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/65265403_906.jpg 1110w" sizes="(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px" />At least 20 people were killed in a deadly attack in the east-central African Democratic Republic of the Congo on Friday, said local authorities.  The attack happened on Friday in the village of Musandaba on the outskirts of Beni.

They blamed ADF. </p> <p>Local activist Janvier Kasereka Kasayirio said 22 bodies were seen in near hospitals. </p> <p>The attackers used knives to avoid a confrontation with the army, said Anthony Mwalushay, an army spokesman in the North Kivu region. The attack took place in one of the two conflict-torn provinces, where the Congo replaced the military with a civilian administration more than a year ago in a bid to control violence. </p> <p>This week, the Congo UN peacekeeping mission condemned the ADF massacre in the neighboring Ituri province, which killed 30 people. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The ADF and the Islamic State group</h2> <p>The ADF is an Islamist militia that began as insurgents in neighboring Uganda before moving to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the 1990s.
