Ankara, Turkey – A suicide bomber detonated a device near a government building in Ankara, Turkey, on Saturday, October 1, killing at least one person and injuring several others. The attack was claimed by the Islamic State group.

The attack took place near the Turkish parliament building and other government offices. The suicide bomber was reportedly disguised as a police officer.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement released on its website. The group said that the attack was carried out in response to Turkey’s military involvement in Syria and Iraq.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the attack and said that Turkey would not be intimidated by terrorism. He said that Turkey would continue to fight against the Islamic State group and other terrorist organizations.

The attack is the latest in a series of terrorist attacks that have taken place in Turkey in recent years. The Islamic State group has carried out several attacks in Turkey, including a suicide bombing at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport in 2016 that killed 45 people.

The attack in Ankara is a reminder of the threat of terrorism that Turkey and other countries in the region face. It is also a reminder of the importance of international cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
