An explosion rocked a cafe in the center of Turkey's capital Ankara early on Tuesday, killing one person and injuring another, the state-run Anatolian news agency reported. 

 

The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear, the agency said. Television pictures showed debris and glass strewn across a road outside the charred building that housed the cafe, located in the busy commercial district of Kizilay. 

 

Ankara police chief Ercument Yilmaz visited the site of the morning blast but refused to say if a bomb had caused the explosion. "Our colleagues are carrying out inspections," he said. (Albawaba.com)
