Seher Cagla Demir
The female suicide bomber who blew herself up in a crowded public
transport hub in Ankara, Turkey on Sunday, killing 37 people, has been
identified as a 24-year-old Kurdish separatist, Seher Cagla Demir.
Demir was a member of the Kurdistan Free Hawks (TAK), who became a
rebel in 2013 and had trained in Syria, before carrying out the suicide
blast on the Turkish capital.
This is the scene where Demir blew herself up, killing many people
It comes as Germany closed its embassy in Ankara and its general
consulate in Istanbul due to indications that an attack could be
imminent while a German school in Istanbul was also shut due to an
'unconfirmed warning'.
TAK leaders, describing Demir as the first female suicide bomber
in its ranks, took responsibility for the bombing earlier this week -
and said it would attack security forces again.
The Turkey-based Kurdistan Free Hawks (TAK) group is considered an
offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, and has carried out
several attacks in the past including one in Ankara in February that
killed 29 people.
