Turkish toilet bomb kills one
A woman was killed and one other person was injured when a bomb went off in a cafe in the heart of the Turkish capital Ankara on Tuesday. "The victim was killed by a bomb. We are investigating," prosecutor Ahmet Mutlu said after inspecting the scene on a main thoroughfare. The device went off in the toilet of the cafe immediately after a young woman entered it, NTV television reported. Police confirmed that the dead person was a woman. NTV speculated that the woman herself may have planted the bomb. Her body, mutilated by the explosion, was found in the toilet. Underground far-left groups and separatist Kurdish rebels have carried out suicide attacks in Turkey in the past and a number of small bombs recently targeted restaurants in Istanbul without causing casualties.
