ANKARA – An explosion from a suspected car bomb ripped through a street in the Turkish capital Ankara yesterday near a neighbourhood housing government buildings, killing three people and wounding 15, interior minister Naim Sahin said.
The blast struck the central Kizilay neighbourhood less than a kilometre from the prime minister’s office, the headquarters of the chief of general staff and several ministries.
Mr Sahin said a parked car had exploded, setting off a chain of blasts as other vehicles blew up. “It is highly probable that it is a terror attack,” he said. – (Reuters)
