Turkey: Death toll in Ankara bomb attacks rises to 95

Ninety-five people were killed in an attack by two suspected suicide bombers on a rally of pro-Kurdish and labor activists in Ankara on Saturday, with 246 people still being treated, 48 of them in intensive care, the prime minister's office said.

It said in a written statement the investigation into who was responsible was continuing and the Ankara prosecutor's office was working to identify and carry out autopsies on the dead.

Two explosions at a peace rally in the Turkish capital Ankara have killed those people.

TV footage shows scenes of panic and people lying on the ground covered in blood, amid protest banners. The blasts took place near the city's central train station as people gathered for a march organised by leftist groups.

Turkey's president condemned the attacks as "terrorist acts".

Government officials are investigating reports that a suicide bomber was behind at least one of the explosions.

The pro-Kurdish HDP party was among those attending the rally, which was demanding an end to the violence between the Kurdish separatist PKK militants and the Turkish government.

The party said in a statement that it believes its members were the main target of the bombings.

The leader of the HDP has blamed the state for the attack, which he called "a huge massacre", and cancelled all election rallies.

Turkey is holding a re-run of June's inconclusive parliamentary elections on 1 November.

Later on Saturday, the PKK called on its fighters to halt its guerrilla activities in Turkey unless attacked first, according to reports on a news site close to the group.

The HDP was among those joining Saturday's rally for "peace and democracy", called for by the confederation of trades unions, which was due to start at 12:00 local time.

The two explosions happened shortly after 10:00 as crowds gathered ahead of the rally. Amateur video footage showed a group of young people holding hands and singing, before the first blast.

The HDP tweeted that police "attacked" people carrying the injured away. Opposition MP Musa Cam tweeted a photo of a ball bearing he says he found at the scene.
