Rally for Labor, Peace, Democracy
According to initial reports, a bomb attack was carried out by two male suicide bombers at the Train Station, which was designated as a gathering point for people before the rally planned to be held in Ankara on Saturday. The identities of 92 of the 97 people who lost their lives in the explosion have been identified, and their bodies have been handed over to their families.
Discussions about insufficient security measures after the explosion brought to mind the question of whether the attack could have been prevented. The fact that the explosion occurred in the center of Ankara turned all eyes to the intelligence units. The occurrence of the explosion in Ankara, where intelligence is strongest, also brought about discussions of a security lapse.
