An explosion has killed at least 27 people and wounded nearly 100 in the Turkish town of Suruc near the Syrian border, the interior ministry says.

The blast occurred in the garden of a cultural centre at about 09:00 GMT. Hundreds of youth workers were reportedly staying there.

Officials are investigating the possibility it was a suicide bombing.

Suruc, located near the Syrian town of Kobane, houses many refugees who 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, forcing most of its residents to flee into Turkey.

The Federation of Socialist Youth Associations (SGDF) is reported to have had at least 300 members staying at the Amara Culture Centre to take part in rebuilding work in Kobane.

Graphic images of the scene immediately after the blast were tweeted by thefederation.

RIP

Quite surprised to hear such news from Turkey.
 
Were they supporters of Pkk? I have seen the video but not sure. Pkk supporters were having protest and blast is happened?
 
Some say it was an 18 years old, female suicide bomber so in that case IS and other terror groups and their style must be checked, that doesn't really look IS to me. It is also a must that who formed this group of people now should be interrogated and closely followed, it would be interesting to know with whom they were in contact.

Allah ölenlerin ailelerine sabır versin ne diyeyim...
