Police detain 15 suspects on following attack in Turkey's Kayseri

A total of fifteen suspects have been detained by Turkish police being looked for following the car bomb blast which hit Turkey's central city of Kayseri, Anadolu agency reported citing country's Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu.

"When our work is done, the public will be informed. All our security forces have taken an oath [to capture the attackers]. We will give the necessary punishment in the shortest time possible," Soylu added as quoted by the Turkish Minute online outlet.

On Saturday, an explosive-laden car blasted near a military bus, which was carrying soldiers. At least 14 soldiers were reportedly killed, while 56 were injured. Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that the terror attack was perpetrated by a suicide bomber. Country's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said earlier in the day that the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK), outlawed in Turkey, was responsible for the attack.
