ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Hundreds of protesters chanting anti-government slogans gathered in Istanbul on Saturday to try to march towards the city's central Taksim square, blaming the government for bomb attacks which killed at least 86 people in the capital Ankara.

The two suspected suicide bombers hit as hundreds of people gathered outside Ankara's main train station for a planned march organised by civil society, pro-Kurdish and leftist groups to protest against conflict between Turkish security forces and Kurdish militants in the southeast.
