土耳其首都成為火箭炮和手榴彈攻擊的現場。
上週的連環爆炸事件撼動土耳其首都安卡拉，造成一人受傷。一枚火箭炮擊中執政黨正義發展黨的總部，司法部則遭人丟擲手榴彈。目前尚不清楚是誰犯下這些攻擊事件，但左翼激進份子、庫德族叛軍和伊斯蘭武裝份子過去都曾攻擊首都安卡拉。
雖然早先的報導宣稱有兩人受傷，但稍後修正成有一人在司法部攻擊事件中受傷。情況原本有可能更嚴重，因土耳其總理艾爾段在正義發展黨總部大樓裡有間辦公室。此外根據報導，大樓七樓窗戶遭火箭炮威力震碎。
根據推測，攻擊事件或許和報導中艾爾段已與庫德族叛軍領袖歐加蘭達成協議有關。庫德族叛軍自1984年起在土耳其東南部為家鄉而戰，但預料正在獄中的歐加蘭會要求戰士放下武器。這位叛軍領袖也已表示，他會在三月二十一號發表「歷史性」聲明。
(International) Attacks Rock Ankara
The Turkish capital was the scene of rocket and grenade attacks.
A pair of explosions rocked the Turkish capital of Ankara last week, leaving one person injured. A rocket was fired at the ruling AK Party headquarters and grenades were thrown at the justice ministry. It was not immediately clear who had committed the attacks, but left-wing activists, Kurdish rebels, and Islamist militants have previously struck targets in the capital.
Although early reports claimed two people had been wounded, that was later amended to say that a single person was wounded at the ministry attack. The situation could easily have been worse as Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has an office in the AK Party building. It was also reported that windows on the seventh floor of the building were shattered by the rocket blast.
There was speculation that the attacks may be connected to a deal reported to have been struck between Erdogan and Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of the Kurdish rebels. The rebels have been fighting for a homeland in southeast Turkey since 1984, but it was expected that Ocalan, who is in jail, will ask the fighters to lay down their weapons. The leader had also said that he would make a historic announcement on March 21.
