Let It All Bleed Out
I've had these images since this incident occurred but completely forgot about them...:eek:

So I did a search before posting because I didn't remember seeing any posted (in the Media Gore Section) and found that Endday had opened a thread in the World News section with loads of wicked photos that I don't have - an awesome job by Endday.

Still, I figured that I'd post what I had put together in the GG Media | War Images section where it might be easier for others to find.

Again, check out End's thread HERE: well worth the trip!

The first bomb exploded at around 10:04 local time (EEST) while rally participants were singing an anthem commemorating the Bloody Sunday incident of 1969.

The second bomb exploded a few seconds later. It was also observed that the bombings were in close proximity of the National Intelligence Organisation (MİT) headquarters. Shortly after the bombing, security forces cleared the area in case of a third and fourth bomb.

The lack of any immediate statement from any known non-state perpetrator taking responsibility for the attack resulted in speculation over the possible perpetrators. Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli stated that the attacks bore a resemblance to the explosion in Suruç in July, raising debate on whether the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) could have been responsible. It was reported that the type of bomb used bore strong resemblance to the materials used in the Suruç bombing, signalling a potential connection between the two incidents.
