ISIL, PKK, Syria intelligence behind Ankara bombing, Erdoğan says

ANKARA

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reiterated Turkey’s belief that the 10 October Ankara Massacre was committed by a medley of mutually antagonistic entities, including extreme jihadists and Kurdish militants.

“[The Ankara bombing] totally is a collective terrorist act, in which Daesh [Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - ISIL], the PKK [Kurdistan Workers’ Party], the Mukhabarat [Syria’s military intelligence] and the PYD [Democratic Union Party] in northern Syria each played a role,” Erdoğan said Oct. 22 at a gathering of the Confederation of Righteous Trade Unions (HAK-İŞ), a right-wing trade union.
