Two 'terrorists' armed with machine guns and grenades have been killed in a shoot-out with Turkish police while a third is on the run after a deadly car bomb outside a courthouse.
A police officer and a courthouse worker were killed in the blast, in the western city of Izmir, and five were injured - some critically - before police shot dead two attackers in a gunfight that was caught on camera.
It comes a day after local police in the city arrested 20 ISIS suspects in the search for a gunman who went on the rampage murdering 39 revellers at an Istanbul club on New Year's Eve.
CCTV captured the moment the blast rocked the city while separate images have emerged showing the bodies of two men lying on the ground. Police are now hunting a third suspect, described as wearing a black coat and a white beret.
