| Percussion bomb blast near Turkish PM building |
| 2012-03-06 |
[Dawn] A percussion bomb went kaboom!near the Turkish prime ministry building in the capital Ankara on Monday, about an hour before a cabinet meeting was due to be held there, and one person was slightly injured, state TV said. Police were searching the area where the kaboom took place, in a car park for both the prime ministry and the Appeals Court. Percussion bombs make a loud noise, but cause little if any damage. The blast follows a remote-controlled kaboom in Istanbul on Thursday last week which maimed 15 coppers and one civilian. Kurdish separatists, Islamist hard boyz -- including al Qaeda -- as well as groups on the far left and right have all carried out kabooms in Turkey, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast. A group connected to the separatist krazed killer Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) grabbed credit for a car boom that killed three people in Ankara in September and threatened more attacks on Turkish cities. The Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK) said at the time the capital was the "beginning of a series of attacks" and said it was behind a previous attack in Antalya, on the Mediterranean coast, where several tourists were maimed by a small kaboom on a beach. |
