At least 30 killed after apparent terrorist attack in Turkey's capital

Ankara (AFP) - At least 30 people were killed and 126 other injured on Saturday in two huge explosions close to the main train station in Turkey's capital Ankara, Turkey's Interior Ministry said.

The explosions occurred minutes apart near Ankara's train station ahead of a peace rally that aimed to call for an end to the renewed violence between Kurdish rebels and Turkish security forces, the Associated Press reports.

The Turkish government suspects that the twin blasts were a "terrorist" attack, an official said.

"We suspect that there is a terrorist connection," a government official told AFP, asking not to be named.

The rally was organized by the country's public sector workers' trade union.
