Condemning the attack, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in a statement: "I strongly condemn the terrorist attack which struck at the heart of Ankaratonight, targeting buses carrying military personnel‎. I offer my deepest condolences to the families of those killed and to the Turkish people."
