Ankara explosion that killed 28 people ‘was carried out by a Syrian Kurd who registered as a refugee’ says Turkish PM as seven are killed in new bomb attack

The Daily Mail:

A car bomb attack which killed 28 people in Turkey last night was carried out by a Syrian Kurd who had registered in the country as a refugee, the country’s prime minister claims.

Detonating close to the parliament and armed forces headquarters in the country’s capital, buses carrying military personnel were among those hit by the blast.

It marked the second deadly bomb attack to hit the country in the past few months as Ankara battles with growing disorder among its own Kurdish population and chaos south of its border.

However, the bomb attack has now been followed by a blast in the country’s south-east, where today a remote controlled explosive targeting a military convoy killed seven.

The explosion hit the armoured vehicle on the highway linking Diyarbakir, the largest city in the mainly Kurdish southeast, to the district of Lice.
