Now, at last 5 people have died and 10 more injured due to an explosion in Turkey’s capital, Ankara. Reports are saying an Islamic terrorist car bomb is to blame for this massive explosion[1] and even more terrifying, the target was Turkey’s military personnel…

Ankara’s governor has confirmed the death count.
The blast happened near the American embassy, close to a military headquarters just as a bus with military personnel was passing by on the road.
Witnesses shared images purporting to show the aftermath of the blast. A large amount of smoke is visible in the photos.

Military vehicles near the explosion caught on fire, and there is serious damage.
This happens just week after a suicide bomber killed 10 people in Istanbul.
Attacking their military…that means the terrorist are unafraid. This is a problem, and I hope people with the power start caring more about it. Terrorism needs to be handled, not ignored.
