In the latest among a spate of attacks rocking Turkey, at least 28 people were killed and 61 wounded Wednesday when a car bomb targeting Turkish troops detonated in the heart of the capital Ankara. The blast struck a convoy of military vehicles stopped at a traffic light in downtown Ankara. No group has yet to claim credit for the attack. However, Pres. Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised swift retaliation against the perpetrators of the attack, which follows numerous deadly strikes in Turkey blamed on jihadists and Kurdish rebels.
