A car bomb tore through a crowded transport hub in the Turkish capital
Ankara on Sunday, killing at least 34 people and wounding 125 in the
second such attack in the administrative heart of the city in under a
month."These attacks, which threaten our country's integrity and our nation's
unity and solidarity, do not
weaken our resolve in fighting terrorism
but bolster our determination," President Tayyip Erdogan said in a
statement.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Interior Minister
Efkan Ala said the name of the group behind the attack would likely be
announced on Monday after initial investigations were completed.
"Tonight, civilian citizens waiting at a bus stop were targeted in a
terrorist attack with a bomb-laden car," Ala told reporters after a
meeting with Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, the head of the
intelligence agency and security chiefs.
"Significant findings have been made, but the organization behind
this will be announced once the investigation has been finalised," he
said.
