Turkey signals escalating Syria attack

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu accuses the Syrian government of being directly responsible for a bombing in Ankara, saying Turkey will continue to shell Kurdish positions inside the Arab country.

The accusation on Thursday came a day after a deadly explosion in the capital Ankara claimed the lives of 28 people and wounded over 60 others.

On Thursday, a blast rocked a Turkish military convoy in the country’s southeast, killing at least seven members of a security force.

The explosion reportedly hit the convoy on the highway linking Diyarbakir, the largest city in the mainly Kurdish southeast, to the district of Lice.
