Police have defused a bomb found hidden under a bus in the Turkish capital, Ankara.
The bomb was planted in a multi-storey parking facility in Kurtulus, a densely-populated district in the centre of the city.
Shops and offices in the district were quickly evacuated after a suspicious vehicle discovered there triggered the bomb alert.
The city governor, Kemal Onal, said a possible catastrophe had been averted, confirming that sniffer dogs had detected the bomb under a mini-bus with false number plates.
Turkey has been the target of several terrorist attacks in recent years. The worst in Turkey's history were in 2003, when a total of 63 people died in attacks on synagogues, a bank and the British consulate.
Six Turks and a Syrian were jailed for life in Istanbul for their involvement in the attacks.
