I heard 5 or more dead. It happened in a shopping area. Almost certainly a bomb.

Alhamdulillah she got home in time! 
I'm curious to know if they will find out who did it, because I have absolutely no understanding for why someone would bomb such places. It's so tragic.

It was taken place in Ulus/Ankara in a shopping center where poor or average earning people do the shopping. A4 type plastic bomb was used. The authorities got suspicious about PKK because PKK is using that kind of bomb.
Maalesef, 6 people died and 60 people injured
