Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu believes those responsible could be linked to ISIL and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, the PKK.
“Continuous operations against “Daesh” (ISIL) , even in these days, is continuing. Against PKK we will continue these operations, because we have intelligence reports that PKK sent and some DHKP-C militants were trained in northern Iraq as suicide bombers, they were sent to Turkey. So we have both of these threats at the same time,” said Turkey’s prime minister in a interview.
(The DHKP-C is a Marxist Leninist party)
At least 97 people died and over 500 were wounded in the twin bomb attack on a rally of pro-Kurdish activists being held in Ankara. The government claims it was intended to undermine the ruling AK party at up coming elections on November 1.
