5 Things You Need To Know About The Blasts In Ankara That Rocked Turkey


Three-day mourning period has begun in the Turkish capital Ankara after the two blasts that rocked the peace rally leaving at least 95 people dead. The attack came three weeks before the country goes to the polls on November 1. Here are some other facts that you need to know about the horrific blasts.



Is ISIS responsible?

Turkey suspects that Islamic State (Isis) militants could be behind the twin blasts. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is blaming the ISIS, but he has not ruled out the role of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) for the attack. Only one thing is clear as of now that the explosions were carried by suicide bombers. The intelligence agencies had received previous information based from some PKK and Daesh (Arabic name for IS) statements that certain suicide attackers could be sent to Turkey.
