Three gunmen opened fire outside a building housing the Israeli consulate in Istanbul; in the ensuing gunfight with police one assailant was killed and two were wounded and detained — AP identified the survivors as brothers Onur C. and Enes C., and a Turkish official labeled the attackers "terrorists." Two police officers suffered slight wounds (to the leg and ear), video showed an assailant with what appeared to be an assault rifle exchanging fire while hiding behind a bus, authorities said one suspect is linked to a group "exploiting religion," prosecutors were assigned to the case, and Israel’s Foreign Ministry condemned the attack and praised Turkish security.
