ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A large explosion in Turkey's capital, believed to have been caused by a bomb, has caused several casualties on Sunday, according to news reports. NTV television said the bomb exploded close to bus stops near a park at Ankara's main square, Kizilay. The news channel said the explosion occurred as a car slammed into a bus, suggesting that the blast may have been caused by a car bomb. Several vehicles had caught fire, it said. The explosion came just three weeks after a suicide car bombing in the capital targeted buses carrying military personnel, killing 29 people. A Kurdish militant group which is an offshoot of the outlawed Kurdish rebel group, the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, claimed responsibility for that attack. Several ambulances and police cars were sent to the scene of Sunday's explosion. Police sealed off the area and pushed onlookers and journalists back, warning there could be a second bomb.
