Ankara suicide attackers used 10 kgs of TNT - Deputy PM Kurtulmus

ANKARA, Oct 13 (KUNA) -- Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said each of the two suicide bombers who blew themselves up in Ankara last Saturday carried five kilograms of TNT.
Kurtulmus refused to disclose the identities of attackers because investigations over the attacks that killed 97 people were classified.
He told a news conference the investigations were in their final stages, and there were many suspects who were arrested.
He said the way the Ankara attacks were carried out was similar to the method used in the attacks in the southern city of Suruc.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said so-called Islamic State (ISIL) might be behind the Suruc attacks. (end) rs.bs
