(VOVworld)- A Turkey-based Kurdish militant group has said it carried out Wednesday's bomb attack in Ankara that killed 28 people. The Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK) group said on its website that the attack was retaliation against the policies of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

TAK claims responsibility for Ankara bombing

Earlier, Mr Erdogan said he had "no doubt" that US-backed Syrian Kurdish groups carried out the bombing. The TAK was once linked with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). Both the TAK and the PKK are classified as terrorist groups by Turkey and the US. In a statement, the TAK said a 27-year-old Turkish national, Abdulbaki Sonmez, had carried out Wednesday's rush-hour car-bombing on a Turkish military convoy in the country's capital. The group made reference to military operations against Kurdish rebels in south-east Turkey, and threatened more attacks.
