Syrian man behind Turkey bombing: reports
Turkish media reports say a Syrian national was behind the attack in Ankara that killed at least 28 people and wounded dozens of others.
Yeni Safak, a newspaper close to the government, reports the man who detonated the car bomb on Wednesday, which targeted buses carrying military personnel, was identified from his fingerprints.
It said he had been registered as a refugee in Turkey.
