Two blasts ripped through a crowd of peaceful protesters outside the train station in the Turkish capital earlier in the day, leaving at least 86 people dead.

ANKARA (Sputnik) — Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Saturday that ISIL, Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Revolutionary People's Liberation Party are among organizations suspected of plotting the deadly attack in Ankara.

"[Such organizations as] Islamic State, the Kurdistan Workers' Party, Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party (Front) and Marxist–Leninist Communist Party have the potential for carrying out such a terrorist act. The investigation continues," Davutoglu told reporters.
