#turkey #Suruc #islamicstate #suicidebomber #SGDF #kobane It was a blast in the garden of a cultural center in Suruc, southern Turkey where hundreds of youth workers were reportedly staying. The blast left at least 27 dead and another 100 injured. The body of a suicide bomber was discovered among the dead.
This has been reported in aljazeera.com dated 20 July 2015.

The incident happened in Suruc near the Syrian border and, located near the Syrian town of Kobane. It is home to many refugees who had fled fighting there in recent months.
Kobane has been a battleground between militants from the Islamic State (IS) group and Kurdish fighters since September last year, when IS overran the town and forced a large portion of its residents to flee into Turkey.
The dead are believed to belong to Federation of Socialist Youth Associations (SGDF) who have had nearly 300 members staying at the Amara Culture Centre – they have gathered to take part in rebuilding work in Kobane. They were volunteers who had come from Istanbul and were headed to the Syrian city of Kobane for relief work.
