ANKARA, Turkey—Two suicide bombers blew themselves up after refusing to surrender to police during an operation in the outskirts of the capital Ankara Saturday, a senior official said. Governor Erkan Topaca said police, acting on a tip, launched an operation to catch a man and a woman who were suspected of planning a suicide car bombing in Ankara. They were hiding inside a hut at a horse farm in the district of Haymana, just outside of the capital. Topaca said the pair would have carried out a suicide car bomb attack although their target was not known. Ankara police on Friday announced a ban on all public assemblies city-wide on Monday, the anniversary of the attack.
