Turkey’s interior minister on Wednesday pointed the finger at the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has waged a decades-long insurgency against the government, over a deadly attack on a defence firm near the capital Ankara.

“The identification process and the search for fingerprints are continuing and we will say which terrorist organisation was behind the attack… The way in which this action was carried out is very probably linked to the PKK,” said Ali Yerlikaya, who raised the death toll to five with 22 injured.
