BREAKING: Terrorist attack Ankara: >86 dead (attack most likely by IS)

[Melech 9,900]

"Two explosions at a peace rally in the Turkish capital Ankara have killed at least 30 people, the interior ministry says. Another 126 have been injured. 

TV footage shows scenes of panic and people lying on the ground covered in blood, amid protest banners.

The blasts took place near the city's central train station as people gathered for a march organised by leftists groups.

The pro-Kurdish HDP party was among those attending the rally.

Government officials say the blasts were a terrorist attack and are investigating reports that a suicide bomber was behind at least one of the explosions.

 

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is being briefed by the interior and health ministers, state news agency Anadolu says.

The leader of the HDP has blamed the state for the attack, and cancelled all election rallies.

The HDP was among those joining Saturday's rally for "peace and democracy", called for by the confederation of trades unions, which was due to start at 12:00 local time.

The party tweeted that there were "numerous dead and injured", and that police "attacked" people carrying the injured away.

Local resident Emre told the BBC that he heard two separate explosions and saw a number of dead bodies. Angry people tried to attack police cars, he said.

An HDP rally in the city of Diyarbakir was bombed in June, ahead of general elections.

Turkey is holding another election next month, and the BBC's Mark Lowen in Istanbul says it was feared that another similar attack was imminent.

The HDP entered parliament for the first time in June's inconclusive elections.

A suicide bombing by suspected Islamic State militants on a gathering of Socialist youth activists in the town of Suruc on the Syrian border killed at least 30 people in July.

A ceasefire between the Kurdish militant group the PKK and Turkey's government later broke down, and there have been regular attacks from both sides since then."

I have relatives living there, hopefully they are okay. My family is going to contact them soon.

Turkey is in such a terrible condition, you don't even know at first, if IS, PKK, the government or the deep state is responsible for this terrorist attack...

I doubt PKK since it was a socialist, left leaning march. My guesses are IS or government 

[manicholic 3,694]

it's amazing how silly the human race is

murdering each other, causing unnecessary suffering to each other in a vicious endless cycle

if only we could fly these terrorists at home and abroad to space just to make them understand how small we all are how tiny the earth is how meaningless we all are in the big vast universe

Since it is still not known, if ISIS actually caused this horrible attack, you should change your headline.
