| (35 minutes later) | |
| ISTANBUL — Two female attackers on Thursday opened fire and hurled a hand grenade at police outside of a riot police station in Istanbul, Turkish media reports said. One of the assailants was believed to have been wounded when police returned fire. | |
| The state-run Anadolu Agency said the two attackers escaped the scene in a vehicle and were hiding inside a building some distance from the police station. Police have surrounded the building and are preparing to launch an operation to catch them, Anadolu said. | |
| Dogan news agency showed what appeared to be security camera footage of the two women firing at a police bus and throwing a hand grenade at it, before apparently aiming at the police station. | |
| No police officer was injured in the attack, according to state-run TRT television. | |
| The motive of the attack was not known but both Kurdish rebels and militants of a far-left organization have attacked police in the past. | |
