On October 10, a double blast hit Ankara ahead of a peaceful anti-war march that was intended to call attention to the recent surge in violence in the Turkey-Kurdish conflict.
On Wednesday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the suicide bombing attacks might have been carried out by either the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) or the Islamic State (ISIL) jihadist group.
No responsibility has been claimed in the killings.
