An attempted murder was allegedly committed against Turkey’s Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, reports Turkish news agency Cihan
yesterday, citing official sources.

On March 23, Erdogan delivered a speech during the ruling Justice and
Development Party’s session in the parliament. In the meantime, his
bodyguard and Turkish law enforcement bodies were taking extraordinary
measures to ensure the prime minister’s security. The session hall
was full of police officers and security guards. Some people, who had
come to have meetings with Erdogan, were not allowed even to enter
the parliament building.

According to Cihan, the attempted murder against Erdogan was planned
to be committed right in the session hall of Turkey’s Grand National
Assembly. No other details are reported.

Citing local governmental anonymous sources, Turkish daily Milliyet
reports that from time to time the security service receives alarms
in relation to possible attempted murders against Erdogan.
