ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A car bombing in Turkey's capital has killed at least 27 people and wounded around 75 others on Sunday, officials said.
The blast occurred on the city's main boulevard, Ataturk Bulvari, close to Ankara's main square, Kizilay. It happened adjacent to bus stops near a park.
The private NTV news channel said a car, believed to be laden with explosives, detonated close to a bus. Several vehicles then caught fire, it said. The area is close to government offices, including ministries.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu convened an emergency security meeting after the bombing, which also shattered the windows of shops that line Kizilay square.
