Deadly self-destruct blast hits Suruc near Kobani
At least 30 people were killed and about 100 wounded in an apparent self-immolating bomb attack in Suruc on the Turkish border with Syria. Most victims were Federation of Socialist Youth Associations volunteers en route to Kobani. Authorities point to Islamic State links, with no immediate claim of responsibility. The blast targeted a pro Kurdish group at the Amara Cultural Center yard, amid regional tensions and refugee camp proximity. President Erdogan condemned the attack as brutality.
