Two attackers, a policeman and a court worker have been killed in a car bomb and gun
assault on a courthouse in the Turkish city of Izmir, state media say.
Officials blamed Kurdish militants for the attack. A third attacker is reportedly still being sought.
The attackers drove a car to the courthouse entrance, sparking an exchange with police and then detonating the car bomb.
A number of people were wounded in the explosion, some critically.
Some of Turkey's big cities have been targeted recently both by so-called Islamic State (IS) and by Kurdish militants.
Turkey launched a military operation in Syria in August to push back IS and Kurdish forces from the Turkish border
