At least 30 people have been killed and 126 injured in two blasts at the venue for a peace rally in the Turkish capital, Ankara, Interior Ministry said. According to the Turkish government, the explosions are suspected to be a terror attack by suicide bombers.
According to local media, the explosion took place near Ankara Central railway station, the busiest in Turkey, which serves 181 trains daily. Several ambulances have been reportedly seen at the scene.
According to Lami Ozgen, head of the Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions, or KESK, the bombs "exploded in very short intervals," AP reported.
he explosions occurred at a rally dubbed “Labor, Peace, Democracy” that kicked off at 10:00 local time (0700 GMT). Turkey's largest trade unions were planning to get together for a demonstration to protest the Turkish government’s renewed military campaign against Kurdish rebels.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is to hold meeting with security officials following the tragedy, his office said.

What if it was ISIS or extremist Turkish bozkurt groups? Or maybe you always blame Kurds first, then ask later?

Turkey is NOT bombing ISIS, in case you didn't notice the news was false.

There was no defnite evidence who did it but if one thinks logically who would do this? Who benefits from this? It is the same people who are giving air cover to ISIS and attack Syrian people.

As an Iranian you are of course an expert on bombings of proxies. It could be Iranian staged too. It is not like you never did this before. We are all speculating at this point.

Yeah, maybe, that's also an option. Everything is possible, maybe you yourself did it?

During the wars with the Kurdish militants back then, was there any incidents like bombings or continuous chaos in the urban cities of Turkey (Ankara, Istanbul etc)?

Or all of these recent attacks in the last 6 months is new?

Later on Saturday, the PKK called on its fighter to halt its guerrilla activities in Turkey unless attacked first, according to reports on a news site close to the group
