Abdulbaki Somer

Prosecutors on Nov. 30 sought life sentences for 68 suspects, including senior leaders of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Salih Moslim, the head of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), linked to the bomb attack on a military bus in Ankara earlier this year that killed 29.    
  

Prosecutors in Van have sought an aggravated life term and 48 years in prison for opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) MP Tuğba Hezer Öztürk on terrorism charges.

Syria's Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the People's Protection Units (YPG) should be excluded from a recently declared cessation of hostilities in Syria, just like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has said.

Turkish police have detained eight suspects during an operation on a mosque in eastern Van province, where the Ankara bomber's family was receiving condolences, after Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) deputy Tu?ba Hezer created outrage by paying a visit to the commemoration. 

According to initial report within the investigation, the perpetrator of the suicide bomb attack in Ankara last week was a Turkish citizen who had entered the county with a fake Syrian identity document.

The bomber has been identified as Abdulbaki Somer, who was born in the southeastern Turkish province of Van, Hurriyet Daily News informs.

The perpetrator of the suicide bomb attack that killed at least 28 people in Ankara on Feb. 17 entered Turkey with a fake identity, an initial report within the investigation into the deadly bombing has revealed.
