From Turkey, CEOAFRICA.com gathered that a police compound was attacked in the capital, Ankara.

Interior Minister Muammer Guler said that two rockets hit the directorate in the Dikmen suburb and that another device, which did not explode, was found in a nearby garden.

He said no-one was hurt in the attacks. It is not clear who is responsible.

People alleged that the attack could be from Kurdish rebels, left-wing groups and Islamist militants who have previously bombed targets in Turkey.

One of our sources quoted Mr Guler as saying that "a rocket launcher, an unexploded shell and the so-called flag of an illegal leftist organisation" were found at the scene.

He said that the perpetrators "may have fled in a vehicle".
