- 8 years ago
A Kurdish group on Friday claimed the suicide car bomb attack on a military convoy in the Turkish capital Ankara that killed 28 people on Wednesday, threatening new attacks targeting the crucial tourism sector.
The Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK), who have been linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), said the attack was revenge for operations by the Turkish military in the southeast of the country and warned foreign tourists not to visit Turkey, according to AFP.
Following Wednesday’s attack, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan vowed that his country’s fight against "pawns" carrying out attacks and the forces behind them will grow more determined.
