The latest target of terror was the facilities of Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) in the Kahramankazan district of Ankara. It was determined that the two terrorists, one female and one male, who martyred 5 of our citizens and injured 22 people, were members of the PKK.
As security forces conducting the investigation began to track step-by-step how the two organization members reached TUSAŞ, new details regarding the period before the attack have emerged.
2 HOURS AT A KEBAB SHOP
According to the report in Sabah, it was revealed that the two terrorists, one female and one male, spent time in Ankara's Kahramankazan district posing as a couple until the time of the attack.
It was observed that the terrorists, who are believed to be trained, acted within the framework of a prepared plan.
It was determined that the terrorists, who considered every detail to avoid drawing attention, entered a kebab shop in the center of the district around 10:45 AM and spent about 2 hours there eating.
THEY WALKED AROUND HOLDING HANDS
It was determined that the terrorists, who made the payment in cash, walked around the district for a while holding hands to avoid attracting attention.
It was learned that the male terrorist entered a coffeehouse in the district, claiming he needed to use the restroom, and upon leaving, he left his backpack at the entrance, saying he would "be back in 5 minutes."
It was determined that they returned with the female terrorist, retrieved the bag, and then left the area.
FEMALE TERRORIST BOARDED THE TAXI ALONE
In security camera footage, it was seen that the female terrorist arrived at a taxi stand 12 kilometers away from TUSAŞ as if she were a customer, waited for a while, and stood by the front door of the vehicle to board the taxi belonging to Murat Arslan.
After the female terrorist boarded the taxi alone like a normal customer, it was seen that they left the stand in Kahramankazan in the vehicle under Arslan's control.
THEY PICKED UP THE OTHER TERRORIST ALONG THE ROAD
It is believed that the male terrorist may have been picked up along the road along with the materials they would use for the attack.
Investigations determined that one of the terrorists stopped the vehicle under a pretext, shot the taxi driver with a weapon taken from the bag, and after the martyred Arslan was placed between the front and back seats, the other attacker took the wheel and continued on the road.
THE TIME OF THE ATTACK DREW ATTENTION
The most striking element in the terror incident carried out against Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) was the time of the attack.
It was observed that personnel were leaving exactly at the moment of the attack, and it is believed that the shift change time was chosen deliberately to shed more blood.
THEY CAMOUFLAGED THE WEAPONS TO PREVENT NOISE
Furthermore, it was determined that the terrorists carried out the attack with AK-74U model Kalashnikovs, which are preferred in residential areas and were camouflaged to prevent them from shining or making noise upon impact, rather than long-barreled weapons.
In addition to the backpack believed to be loaded with hand grenades and IEDs, it was determined that the terrorists' pistols were short-range, silenced Glock brand handguns.
