Deadly attack on Turkish defence company

An attack on Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) on the outskirts of Ankara has left four people dead and 14 wounded. Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said “two terrorists” had also been “neutralised” during the incident, which he described as a “terror attack”. Turkish sources familiar with the attack told Middle East Eye that two attackers - a man and a woman - hijacked a taxi and approached the gates of TAI, which employs more than 15,000 people. Turkey has been targeted by a number of armed groups in recent decades, including the Islamic State group, the Kurdistan Workers Party’ and the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front (DHKP-C). So far no one has been blamed for or claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s attack.
