SYRIAN KURDISH guerillas denied Turkish allegations yesterday that they were behind Wednesday’s bombing in central Ankara that killed 28 people.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was swift to accuse the People’s Protection Units (YPG) militia of the attack, although no group had claimed responsibility.
He claimed the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) had planned the attack, which was carried out by a Syrian Kurd who had entered the country as a refugee.
