Suspected ISIS terrorist blows himself up in Turkey

Ankara, Syria, Nov 15 (IBNS): Ahead of the crucial G20 Summit in the Mediterranean resort city of Antalya where world leaders have gathered to attend, a suspected Islamic State jihadist blew himself up in southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border during a police raid on late Saturday, media reports said.
The attack left four officers injured. Out of which one is seriously injured.
 
The militant activated explosives attached to his body when police raided an apartment building in the town of Gaziantep, the Dogan news agency said.
 
This comes after  Friday's orchestrated attacks by suicide bombers and gunmen in Paris, which left at least 129 people killed.
 
The terror attacks, worst in France's history since the second world war, were carried out in six locations, including  a concert hall, restaurants and the national sports stadium on Friday night.
 
French President Francois Hollande blamed the Islamic extremist group and called the assault an "act of war".
 
The Islamic State released an undated video on Saturday threatening to attack France if bombings of its fighters continue. Earlier on Saturday, Hollande said the attacks were committed by Islamic State, planned and organised from abroad with help from inside France.
 
At least eight militants, all wearing suicide vests, brought unprecedented violence. Four of them, armed with AK47s and shouting "Allahu Akbar," stormed into a rock concert at the Bataclan concert hall in eastern Paris, gunning down at least 89 people.
