Car Bomb in Turkish Capital Kills 34, Wounds 125

(Reuters) Ece Toksabay and Orhan Coskun - A car bomb in the Turkish capital, Ankara, on Sunday killed at least 34 people and wounded 125 in the second such attack in a month. Two senior security officials said initial findings suggested that the Kurdish PKK was responsible. One security official said the car used in the attack was a BMW driven from Viransehir, a town in the largely Kurdish southeast. The PKK-affiliated Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK) claimed responsibility for a previous car bombing on Feb. 17, just a few blocks away, which targeted a military bus and killed 29 people.
