A Kurdish wedding in Turkey ended in tragedy when a suicide bomber attacked. It is believed that the bomber was young as 12 years old. At least 51 people are dead and scores of others wounded, reports The Associated Press.
The bombing took place late on Saturday in Gaziantep — near Turkey's border with Syria. The AP reports that the blast was the deadliest attack in Turkey this year.
In a press conference, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said the attacker was between the ages of 12 and 14. He also said 69 people had been wounded and that 17 were in critical condition.
