New York Times: Explosion in Ankara Kills at Least 34, Turkish Officials Say
ISTANBUL — A large blast ripped through the heart of Ankara, Turkey’s capital, on Sunday, killing at least 34 people and injuring 125, government officials said.
The explosion occurred in Kizilay Square, near a central bus station, a park and several government ministries. Television footage showed several vehicles on fire.
The Ankara governor’s office said the explosion was believed to have been caused by a car bomb. On Friday, the United States Embassy there had warned Americans of a potential terrorist plot to attack Turkish government buildings and residences in Ankara.
Last month, a bombing on a military convoy in Ankara killed 28 people. A Turkish-based militant group, the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons, claimed responsibility for that attack, identifying the bomber as a 26-year-old Turkish citizen. The Turkish government blamed a Syrian Kurdish militia that is supported by the United States in the fight against the Islamic State in Syria.
