No group has yet claimed the attack. However, a security official told Reuters news agency that initial findings suggested it was the work of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) or an affiliated group.

Seems like it would be a poor strategical choice for the Kurds.

They are already fighting ISIS on one front so it is not a great idea to open another front against the Turk.

But on the other hand Turkey has been not allowing the US to supply the Kurds weapons in their fight against ISIS.

It is hard to say what may be the truth here.

But as far as a false flag op by the Turkish government; I doubt it. I don't think the current Turkish government cares enough about public opinion to bother risking such a move to sway public opinion in that way.

If they wanted to make a major move against the Kurds they would just do it and deal with public opinion afterword if necessary.

The Erdogan Islamist government isn’t primarily concerned with Turkish public opinion-—that’s secondary. IMHO, Erdogan is arranging these false flag bombings to build a pretext for cross border intervention in Northern Syria against the Kurds. And that pretext is meant for the eyes of the West and of Russia.
