Bomb attack on wedding kills more than 20 in Turkey


More than 20 people died and nearly 100 were injured when a bomb exploded at an outdoor wedding in southeastern Turkey today near the Syrian border. Gaziantep Province Gov. Ali Yerlikaya said the blast was a terror attack. Mehmet Erdogan, a ruling party legislator from Gaziantep, said authorities believe it was most likely a suicide bomb attack that could have been the work of either Kurdish militants or Islamic State (ISIS) extremists.
