Ankara blast Kurdish group TAK claims bombing

The Kurdish militant group TAK says it carried out Sunday's deadly attack in the Turkish capital, Ankara.



In an online statement it said the attack, which killed 37 people, was in revenge for military operations in the mainly Kurdish south-east.
The TAK, an offshoot of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), had already said it was behind another bombing in Ankara last month.
Authorities in Turkey have blamed the latest attack on the PKK.


In a further development, Germany closed its embassy in Ankara and its consulate and a school in Istanbul on Thursday.
