A car bomb, targeting an armored vehicle transporting police personnel on the 31 March 2016,[1] exploded close to a bus terminal in the Bağlar district of Diyarbakır, Turkey, killing at least seven police officers and wounding 27 more people, including 13 officers, according to a joint statement by Turkish officials and the police. The attack comes on the third day of the Turkish Governments Ministers meetings in Diyarbakır concerning the reconstruction of the Sur district[2] and one day before Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu's scheduled visit to the city. There has been no claim of responsibility. [3][4][5][1][6][7] The Turkish authorities accused terrorists for the attack,[8][1] but the investigations directed at the perpetrator of the attack are still ongoing.[6]
