Turkey In Mourning After Blasts

Turkey is beginning three days of mourning after two blasts at a peace rally in the capital Ankara killed at least 95 people on Saturday, the deadliest ever such attack in Turkey.

The attack left 245 people injured, with 48 of them in a serious condition.

TV footage showed scenes of panic and people lying on the ground covered in blood, amid protest banners.

The government called the blasts a “terrorist act” and angrily rejected allegations that it was to blame.

Late on Saturday, US President Barack Obama spoke to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and “conveyed his deepest personal sympathies for those killed and injured in these heinous attacks,” the White House said.
