Terror attack in Ankara kills at least 37 - one suicide bomber was a 22-year-old woman

In a suicide attack in the city of Ankara, at least 37 persons have been killed and more than 125 people are injured. The attack took place in Kizilay, a major shopping and transport hub, located in the center of the Turkish capital.
One of two suicide bombers was a 22-year-old female PKK member from the eastern city of Kars and had joined the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) in 2013 as informed by Turkish security officials.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 14 March 2016.

This was the third terror attack in Ankara in just six months and the bombers had arrived in a BMW which was packed with items like nails and pellets, to cause maximum carnage. Identification of one of the suspects was by tracing the BMW using the chassis number.
Fighter jets had struck arms depots and shelters of the PKK in the Iraqi mountainous areas of Qandil and Gara on Monday and the attack could have been because of that. Nine F-16s and two F-4s had conducted the strikes on eighteen recently identified targets as revealed by the military. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but other bombings elsewhere in the country have been blamed on Islamic State, which is also active in Turkey.
