Turkish interior minister points to Kurdish PKK militants over defense firm attack

Turkey’s interior minister points the finger at the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has waged a decades-long insurgency against the government, over a deadly attack on a defense firm near the capital Ankara.

“The identification process and the search for fingerprints are continuing and we will say which terrorist organization was behind the attack… The way in which this action was carried out is very probably linked to the PKK,” says Ali Yerlikaya, who raised the death toll to five with 22 injured.
