Car bomb kills 27 in Turkish capital Ankara

ANKARA, March 13 (Reuters) A car bomb killed 27 people in the heart of the Turkish capital Ankara today and wounded 75 more, the governor's office said, less than a month after a similar attack killed 29 people just blocks away.
Video footage showed burning debris showering down on what appeared to be the entrance to an underpass. The blast could be heard 2.5 km away and a large cloud of smoke could be seen rising over the city centre, a Reuters witness said.
A senior security official told Reuters that the blast appeared to have been caused by a suicide car bomb. A second security official said gunfire was heard after the blast. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
