Ankara, Turkey: At least 86 people were killed Saturday when two explosions ripped through groups of leftist and pro-Kurdish activists gathering for an anti-government peace rally in the Turkish capital Ankara.
The attack, near Ankara's main train station, was the deadliest in the city's history and has ratcheted up tensions ahead of Turkey's November 1 snap elections, which were already riding high amid the government's offensive on Kurdish militants.
