A second angle of the suicide attack at the Turkish Interior Ministry building in Ankara today appears to show that the suicide vest was triggered prematurely, causing the only other casualties outside of the two wounded officers to be the suicide bomber and the shooter that was attacking the guard outpost.

It has been confirmed by Turkish police that the second attacker was also wearing a similar device. It was destroyed in place by an EOD team to render the area safe.

The injuries of the officers who were attacked are reported to be minor, with both expected to make a full recovery in the near future.
