Turkish authorities identified the suicide bomber in Tuesday's Ankara bombing yesterday, and pointed the finger at the PKK, a Kurdish separatist group headquartered in northern iraq. The Financial Times reports the bombing has renewed calls for Turkey to attack guerrilla bases in Kurdistan, a move which would have serious repercussions for US relations.
