Turkey says attack was 'well-planned'

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus says seven prosecutors have been assigned to investigate the attack, which he describes as “well-planned.”

Kurtulmus says no group had yet claimed responsibility, but pledges authorities would find those behind the attack.

The US ambassador to Turkey says he is “deeply saddened and shocked” by the attack in Ankara that killed at least 18 people.

In a message on Twitter Wednesday Ambassador John Bass says “Our hearts and prayers go out to those affected.”

British Ambassador Richard Moore also offered his condolences through Twitter, writing that the “UK stands shoulder to shoulder with Turkey at this difficult time.”
