Turkey hits Kurdish rebel positions after Ankara car bomb kills 37

Turkey said it had bombed Kurdish positions in northern Iraq in retaliation for a car bombing in central Ankara on Sunday that left 37 people dead.

Fighter-bombers on Monday hit 18 positions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

The bombing was the second deadly attack in the Turkish capital in the past month and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed to bring "terrorism to its knees."

A suicide car-bombing in the capital last month targeted buses carrying military personnel, killing 29 people. An offshoot of the PKK claimed responsibility for the attack.
