MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A car bomb exploded late Sunday at a bus stop near Ankara’s central Kizilay square, killing 37 people and injuring over 120.
"Last week, the US Embassy became aware of threat information through a Turkish government warning circulating in social media. After confirming the warning with Turkish authorities, Embassy issued a notice to all American citizens in Ankara — both government employees and private citizens — and to Turkish employees of the US Embassy, as we routinely do when we learn of Turkish government information about threats," the embassy said in a statement on Sunday.
The Sunday car bomb blast was the second terrorist attack to hit Ankara since the beginning of the year, after a military convoy was bombed in the Turkish capital in February, killing 30 people.
