The blast went off at 10.20am, local time, according to Turkish newspaper Hurriyet

Police have sealed off the scene, which is near an obelisk in the area that is on the site of the ancient Roman hippodrome.

Images from the scene appear to show several bodies on the ground.

stanbul governor's office said at least 15 other people have been injured.

A statement from the office said: "Investigations into the cause of the explosion, the type of explosion and perpetrator or perpetrators are underway."

Turkey's Dogan news agency reported that at least six Germans, one Norwegian and one Peruvian were among the wounded.

Seoul's Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, told reporters that one South Korean had a finger injury.

State run TRT TV station said a suicide bomber is thought to have been responsible.

Yup; the West would have been better employed leaving Saddam and Gaddafi alone, and regime-changing Turkey and Saudi....

Ah well, that's Turkey's tourist trade going the same way as Tunisia, etc.

There have been so many killings recently by islamists that it's difficult to keep track of them - this seems to be one of the worst...

http://news.sky.com/story/1627358/gunmen-attack-beach-restaurant-in-somalia

Gunmen have attacked a beachside restaurant in the Somali capital, setting off two car bombs and battling government soldiers.

The al Shabaab militant group said it was behind the attack on the Beach View Cafe on Mogadishu's Lido beach.

"We are inside and control the cafe," Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, the group's military spokesman, said.

"There are many casualties lying inside and outside the cafe."

The first car bomb went off around dusk, police said, before the second blast about an hour later.

Government forces went into the restaurant after the first explosion.

Major Farah Abdulle, a police officer at the scene, said: "We cannot know the number of casualties inside."

Ankara Blast Kills And Injures 'Large Number'
Officials say the PKK could be behind a deadly car bomb attack on a military convoy during the Turkish capital's rush hour.

At least 28 people were killed and dozens injured after an explosion hit the Turkish capital of Ankara.

Police said a car bomb was detonated near a military headquarters, sending dark smoke billowing into the sky.

The Turkish military said that several buses carrying military personnel were deliberately attacked as they waited at traffic lights.

Local media reported the rush-hour blast was 300m in front of the Chief of Staff's Building, the base for the heads of Turkey's Army, Air Force and Navy.

At least two or three buses and several cars are believed to have been set on fire. Dozens of emergency vehicles were sent to the scene.

A spokesman for the Turkish government said that 28 were killed and 61 were injured, revising earlier figures.

A Turkish security official told Reuters that early signs indicated that the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) was behind the attack but the government spokesman said it was too early to say.

The blast forced Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to postpone a trip to Brussels where he was due to discuss the migrant crisis with other EU leaders, his office said.

Turkey was keen to follow-up a previous deal aimed at stemming the flow of refugees to Europe - something that many European nations say Turkey has to take some responsibility for.

British Ambassador Richard Moore offered his condolences on Twitter, posting that the "UK stands shoulder to shoulder with Turkey at this difficult time."

A blackout on the reporting of the explosion by local media was imposed - something it has done during similar events in the past.

The people who let them in and did nothing to keep people safe are just as guilty as those who committed the acts of terror IMO.

Erdrogan was happy to set fire to neighbouring nations, Lily, and now it's come back home. As usual, he's trying to censor media reports on this.

https://www.rt.com/news/332845-turkey-military-convoy-blast/

At least seven military personnel have died in an explosion that hit a military convoy in the southeast of Turkey, and a number of people have been injured, according to Reuters. The convoy was traveling along a highway linking Diyarbakir and Bingol.
Reports from local Turkish sources say that the explosion was caused by an improvised explosive device (IED).

The explosion comes a day after a car bomb attack in the Turkish capital of Ankara killed 28 people and injured a further 61 people. The scene of Wednesday’s blast was close to Turkey's parliament, the Presidency of the General Staff, and Army, Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard commands.


Turning the clock back 100 years is really working out well for Erdrogan.

"Democracy Ends In Turkey": Prominent Anti-Erdogan Newspaper Seized In Midnight Raid


German tourists killed in Istanbul suicide bombing Zaman-900x510_0


Overnight both freedom of press and democracy officially died in Turkey, with time of death just before midnight, when Turkish authorities stormed the Zaman daily, a newspaper staunchly opposed to president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and after using tear gas and water cannon they seized its headquarters in a dramatic raid that raised fresh alarm over declining media freedoms.

The police used water cannon late on Friday at a hundreds-strong crowd that had formed outside the headquarters of the Zaman daily in Istanbul following a court order issued earlier in the day.

https://www.rt.com/news/335163-erdogan-wife-harem-turkey/

The wife of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has praised the often-criticized harem of the Ottoman Empire as “a school for preparing women for life.” It comes a day after her husband said women are mothers above all other things, sparking protests.
“The harem was a school for members of the Ottoman dynasty and an educational establishment for preparing women for life,” Emine Erdogan said at an official event on the Ottoman sultans in Ankara, according to Turkish TV stations.
...etc.

What 'life'? Being little more than a slave, relying on the whims of whoever is in charge? Knowing that sons were routinely murdered by their half-brothers?

http://royalwomen.tripod.com/id12.html

Tragedy frequently struck the harem. The women were often too young to die, but there were some cases, like the tasters. These girls, who had been educated in the harem schools under a mistress to be a taster for a kadin or a sultana, tasted every drink, snack, meal, or anything else the woman they served would eat to make sure there was no poison. They took pride in their self-sacrifice and had much dignity. Sometimes a taster would die from poison, foaming and writhing on the floors. They were taken to the Mistress of the Maladies, but nobody would ever hear of her fate. If the girl did survive most of the time her liver or another organ would be destroyed and she would be of no service so she was sent home. However, there were many deaths, which was very ominous and left many feeling unsafe in their golden cage. There was one devastating tragedy under Padishah Ibrahim I (1615-1648). When her heard rumors from his lover, Sechir Para (Sugar Cube), that one of his concubines was sporting with a man outside of the palace, he raged for days and had his chief eunuch torture a few of the harem girls to discover the identity of the mysterious girl. None of them spoke and so Ibrahim tied up every single one of his 280 harem women to weighted sacks and had them thrown into the Bosporus River in Istanbul. Only one girl survived (other than the sultana, kadins, and Sechir Para, who were spared) because her sack was not sufficiently tied and she was saved by a French ship. The Valide Sultana became jealous of Sechir Para's power after the drownings and had Sechir Para strangled. Ibrahim was told that she had died of a mysterious illness.

Sounds like a barrel of laughs - very liberated. Rolling Eyes

That reminds me......a female member of the Saudi family was involved in an arranged marriage but she refused. Many relatives and friends were invited to the home of her parents and stood around the swimming pool. Their daughter was shackled and thrown into the pool and of course, she drowned.

That they can do that to their own children shows that they can do anything...........

An explosion hit the center of Ankara on Sunday evening, with a number of people reportedly killed and wounded.
A senior security official told Reuters that a blast occurred near Guven Park in the city center.

The cause of the explosion is so far unknown, the official added.

[video]


What appears to be CCTV cam footage was posted on YouTube that allegedly shows the moment of the explosion. A couple of buses can be seen in the video, before a passing by car slows down near them and a huge blast is seen.

Yes, this seems to be an especially bad one, Lily:

Ankara Car Bombing Kills At Least 27 People
Some 75 people were also wounded in the explosion in a busy square in the centre of Turkey's capital.

At least 27 people have been killed and 75 wounded in a car boming in Turkey's capital, the local governor's office has said.

The explosion happened in the centre of Ankara around 6.45pm local time, the official statement said.

"The blast was caused by a vehicle packed with explosives close to Kizilay square," it said.


News is still coming in. Odds on Erdrogan doing his usual, and clamping down on reports?
