Istanbul, Turkey: A militant Kurdish group linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) on Friday claimed the suicide bombing in Ankara earlier this week on the Turkish military that killed 28 people.
‘On February 17 in the evening a suicide attack was carried out by a sacrifice warrior on a military convoy of the fascist Turkish Republic in Ankara... The attack was realised by the Immortal Battalion of the TAK,’ the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) said in a statement on their website.
