Turkey: 95 people killed and 248 hurt as bombs rock rally in Ankara
At least 95 people were killed in twin explosions Saturday outside the main train station in the Turkish capital Ankara where protesters were gathering for a peace march, the government said.
Graphic pictures from the scene showed several bodies covered by flags and placards, with bloodstains visible and body parts scattered in the road. Officials said 248 people were hurt, 48 of them seriously.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, Turkey’s deadliest in years. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said there were “strong signs” that they were suicide bombings, The Associated Press reported.
