Turkish PM: YPG, PKK carried out Ankara terror attack

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has said the Ankara car bomb attack was carried out jointly by a YPG member from Syria and PKK members based in Turkey.

"The assailants have all been identified. It is Syrian national Saleh Najar who was born in the northern Syrian city Amuda in 1992, nine other have been detained," he said in a press briefing Thursday.

The premier was speaking a day after a terrorist attack hit military vehicles in central Ankara on Wednesday evening, killing at least 28 people and wounding 61.
