The Islamic State (ISIS) group is the prime suspect in the Ankara bombings that killed nearly 100 on Saturday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said.
No group has said it carried out the attack, but the Government believes that two male suicide bombers caused the explosions, hitting a peace rally.The official death toll is 97, but one of the main groups at the march put the number of dead at 128.
Saturday’s twin explosions ripped through a crowd of activists gathering outside the main railway station in the Turkish capital. They were due to take part in a rally calling for an end to the violence between Turkish government forces and the militant Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
There is anger in Turkey that authorities were unable to prevent such a major attack in the heart of the capital city — and some scepticism from opposition groups about the Government’s claims.
