By Daren Butler and Humeyra Pamuk ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey's government said on Monday Islamic State was the prime suspect in suicide bombings that killed at least 97 people in Ankara, but opponents vented anger at President Tayyip Erdogan at funerals, universities and courthouses. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Saturday's bombing, the worst of its kind on Turkish soil, was intended to influence the outcome of November polls Erdogan hopes will restore the AK party he founded to an overall parliamentary majority. "It was definitely a suicide bombing," Davutoglu said in an interview broadcast live on Turkey's NTV.
