At least 51 people were killed and over 94 injured when a child suicide
bomber aged between 12 and 14 attacked a wedding party in the Turkish
city of Gaziantep late on Saturday, August 20.
The attack was the deadliest in a series of bombings in Turkey this
year. President Tayyip Erdogan described the attack as an attempt by
Islamic State extremists to destabilize the country by exploiting ethnic
and religious tensions.
