Ankara’s Chief Public Prosecutor has opened an investigation into the bomb attack on the Turkish mission in Somalia.

The investigation has opened as part of Article 13 of the Turkish Penal Code (TCK), which is related to crimes committed abroad. The autopsy report of the police officer, Sinan Yılmaz, who was killed in the attack, was also attached to the investigation file.

A car loaded with explosives rammed into the gates of an office housing Turkish embassy staff in the Somali capital on July 27, killing one police officer and wounding four others.
