Turkey: Deadly Bombing Targets Youth Activists Helping Rebuild Kobani

HeadlineJul 20, 2015

In Turkey, 27 people have been killed and more than 100 more wounded in a bombing earlier today in the Turkish border town of Suruc in what appears to be a targeted attack against youth activists. The bombing was carried out in the garden of a cultural center where hundreds of activists from the Federation of Socialist Youth Associations were staying. The youth activists were living in Suruc to help the rebuilding of the nearby Syrian town of Kobani, which has been the site of intense fighting between the self-proclaimed Islamic State and Kurdish forces.
