"We have seen a vicious, ruthless terror attack at Ankara's busiest time," a visibly shaken Erdogan told reporters. He said steps would be taken following this deadly blast, coming before parliamentary elections.

A fisherman's boat is seen washed ashore after powerful tides snapped its anchor rope in the Pakistani coastal town of Gwadar June 5, 2007. Gonu, recorded as one of the strongest cyclone in the history of the Persian gulf is heading towards southern Iran engulfing the coastal region of Pakistan. Gonu with winds of 160 miles per hour (257 km per hour) and gusts of 195 miles per hour (314 km per hour) --- the equivalent of a Category Five hurricane -- headed northwest through the Indian Ocean toward Oman's east coast, with rain from its outer edges already affecting the nearby regions.
