Deadly attacks at peace rally in Turkey


Thousands of people took to the streets of Ankara on Sunday to denounce the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after 95 people were killed in twin suspected suicide bombings on a peace rally, Turkey's worst ever terror attack.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu declared three days of national mourning, with flags flying at half mast across the country, as questions grew over who could have ordered the Ankara bombings.

Turkey's pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), one of the groups that called the peace rally, issued a statement claiming the actual toll was far higher at 128, giving the names of 120 victims. (AFP)
