The death toll in Saturday's bombing in Turkey's capital, Ankara, has risen to 97 and over 400 other people have been injured, according toTurkish Medical Association. "In total 97 people have been murdered, 68 of them died right after the blast, whereas 29 of them were severely wounded and sent to the hospitals, where they lost their lives," said Dr.Huseyin Demirdezen, a member of head council of Turkish Medical Association.
Two powerful bombs exploded near the main train station in Ankara on Saturday morning, targeting a peace rally and causing carnage, killing at least 86 people and injuring 186 others in the deadliest attack in the Turkish capital in recent memory.
The explosion, which caused chaos and bloodshed, took place during a peace march involving, among others, the pro-Kurdish HDP, or People's Democratic Party.
The casualties, reported by the interior ministry, consisted primarily of people gathered outside the main train station to attend a lunchtime demonstration to call for an end to the renewed conflict between the Kurdish PKK organization and the Turkish government.
About 14,000 people were in the area. Two suicide bombers are believed to have caused the blasts, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in a televised address to the nation. . .

Oh, right, just like #blacklivesmatter only when you're not talking about blacks killing blacks. Forgot.

This will really p*** the Turks off. Western intelligence planners have been counting on the Turks to take over most of Syria when the Syrians finally run down, and the Turks have been real dubious about that. But give them more incentives like this and the chances of them reverting to type go up. A Turkish slang word for “Arab” translates as “street dog”, which is a real nasty term among Muslims.
Such an obvious false flag to frame the PKK, when Erdogan’s fingerprints were all over this
I can’t help but wonder if any of the injured individuals in this bombing, danced in the streets when 911 happened? No, I don’t relish the idea, but can’t help but wonder.
Bet you a dollar Erdogan was behind it.
Nationwide elections coming up on Nov 1st.
The unilateral PKK cease fire didn't fit Erogdan's narrative.
Civil wars throughout the Middle East and spreading into NATO/Europe. Great job Obama/McCain.
This is Turks killing Kurds. I doubt the Kurds were dancing in the streets on 9/11.
Russia's long term goal is to control the Southern Mediterranean coast, thus flanking Europe.(Remember kiddies one invasion of Europe in WWII was through Southern France, Sicily and Italy.)
Wars have been waging in the middle east and Europe for 7000 years.
Killing Jurds - certainly. Just who pulled the triger is open for some debate.
This Brit piece lists **at least 5** players that could have done the dirty deed.
