ISTANBUL (AP) — A gunfight erupted outside a building housing
the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul on Tuesday, leaving two
assailants dead and a police officer wounded, Turkey’s Haberturk
broadcaster reported.
The report said attackers were carrying long-barreled weapons.
An exchange of fire with police killed two while a third
assailant was captured. One officer sustained injuries during
the clash.
The area surrounding the building was quickly sealed off.
There was no immediate information on the identity of the
attackers or what their motives may have been.
Turkey's Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said an investigation has
been launched.
Haberturk said the consulate occupies one or two floors inside
the high-rise building.
