Bombing in Ankara

Just showed up on the wire. This is all I know so far.

Please, God, let it not be done by Kurds. We have enough troubles in Iraq without having to choose between defending them from the Turks, and selling them out. Sad history gives me an idea of which it's likely to be.

Update: Rats.
Erdoğan said the explosion took place at a time when the security forces stepped up measures for possible attacks in summer months. Five were killed in the blast, including a Pakistani, Erdoğan said. More than 60 people, including four Pakistanis, were injured. Erdoğan declined to put the blame on any terrorist organization for the blast, saying the investigation must continue. But reports indicated that the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was involved.

This is really going to complicate things in Iraq, as if it wasn't knotty enough already.
