LONDON. KAZINFORM Two attackers, a policeman and a civilian have been killed in a car bomb and gun assault on a courthouse in the Turkish city of Izmir, state media say.
A number of people were reportedly wounded in the explosion, BBC reported.
Images showed two cars ablaze and the body of one man carrying a weapon. Reports say a third attacker is being sought.
It is not clear who is responsible but Turkish officials say initial findings point to Kurdish rebels.
Some of Turkey's big cities have been targeted recently both by so-called Islamic State and by Kurdish militants.
