Turkey blast kills 3, injures 15

Tue Sep 20, 2011

Three people have been killed and 15 others have been seriously injured in a powerful bomb explosion in the Turkish capital of Ankara, says the Turkish interior minister.

Idris Naim Sahin said bodies of the three people were found in a building near a car that exploded near the Cankaya district administration offices close to Kizilay square downtown Ankara on Tuesday, The Associated Press reported.

Sahin said the incident was “highly likely to be a terrorist attack,” adding that the car was purchased a week ago but was not yet registered.

The blast blew out the windows of the shops and offices in the area, damaging cars and sparking a fire that was later put out by firefighters at the scene.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the explosion in Ankara.
