QuoteAn explosion has killed at least 27 people and wounded many more in the Turkish town of Suruc near the Syrian border, the interior ministry says.
The blast occurred in the garden of a cultural centre. Hundreds of youth workers were reportedly staying there.
There is no official word on the cause of the explosion. Reports say it could have been a suicide attack.
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.
Pervin Buldan, a senior lawmaker from Turkey's pro-Kurdish HDP opposition party, told Reuters that local officials were investigating the possibility it was a suicide bombing.
"Turkish and Kurdish youth had come to cross into Kobane, and there were three or four days of activities planned," she said.
I don't know if this is really ISIS or some provocation to push Turkey into war with Syria. However, something tells me it's the former, because it sounds like something the religious gov can do and if they are really in secret support for ISIS -which is the common opinion- why would they attack in a blatant manner with a suicide bomber. They do not need to do that.
that sucks :S. Guess its just a case of waiting to see more information on what happened, if it was Isis or another terrorist group, or just one lone suicide bomber.
The group attacked is a youth branch of a socialist association. Pretty much the poster kids of the infidels. Anti-religious and anti-nationalist by definition. They are also diverse of course. Turks, Kurds, ..etc. Sigh. Offf. I don't know.
I am not buying the bullshit that this is just ISIS. I know that.
Edit: Death toll is over 30. :cry: Young people.
Just another story to shoot at Islam as a whole

Quran 64:11 (Sahih international)
No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah . And whoever believes in Allah - He will guide his heart. And Allah is Knowing of all things.

Well it's about time somebody shot back at them. Are you really trying to be a troll, or are you really serious?
The whole IS thing feels like an invention of the military industry to make sure that there are more than enough customers willing to buy weapons systems and the stories feel more and more unbelievable as the days go by. It just feels like a sales job so that companies like Boeing and others never run out of customers. There's a huge arms race underway and someone is getting fabulously wealthy as a result. #caugh#McCain#caugh#

Agreed. But you don't need to invent an ISIS. It's just a result or a series of deliberate policies. It's very profitable and beneficial. And there will be others.
Nobody really wants ISIS to go away. As long as it is just the Middle Easterners die, who gives a fuck? I have seen pages who gave the news like typing 'terror attack' this way in the title. Apparently, it doesn't count as it happened in a muslim country. I don't have anything to say. It's pretty self explanatory.
Those kids were volunteers brought aid to Kobani. University students.
