Terror in Turkey as two armed women opened fire and threw grenades on the streets of Istanbul



Caught on camera: This is the dramatic moment two women open fire with what appears to be a machine gun and throw a grenade at a police bus in Istanbul in the latest terror attack to rock the Turkish city 

This is the dramatic moment two women opened fire and threw a grenade on the streets of Istanbul before barricading themselves in a government building.
The attackers targeted a riot police bus as it drove towards the police station in the Bayrampasa district of Turkey's biggest city.

Police returned fire, injuring one of the women, before tracking them to a nearby building where they are holed up.


Footage on Turkish television stations showed the street cordoned off as armed plainclothes police in bullet-proof vests emerged from the police station.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Thursday’s attack in which no casualties were reported.
