Turkish bomber who killed 50 was aged between 12 and 14

Prime minister Binali Yildirim, meanwhile, said Gaziantep would show the same spirit it had shown in 192, when it defeated French forces in Turkey's Independence War which led to the word Gazi, meaning war hero, being added to its original name of Antep. And we will continue to strengthen our cooperation with the Turkish authorities to prevent and counter terrorism.

Five weeks ago, the country was jolted by an attempt by army officers to stage a military coup.

"This may very well be a revenge attack for that", Finkel said. Local media reported that a suicide bomber mingled with the guests, including several women and children, and detonated the bomb.

She says Germany's thoughts are with the victims and their families, and she wished those wounded speedy recoveries.

"The explosion was the result of a suicide bomber aged between 12 and 14 who either detonated (the bomb) or others detonated it", Erdogan said at a press conference in Istanbul.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave the information in a live nationally-televised address in front of Istanbul city Hall.

Erdogan said that 51 people had died in the blast, and 69 were wounded, 17 of whom were "heavily" wounded.

The Islamic State group was the "likely perpetrator" of the bomb attack in Gaziantep late on Saturday that targeted a celebration attended by many Kurds, he said.

New battery design could give devices twice as much battery life
In the past, increases in battery life have lead to phones that are just way more power-hungry, canceling out any noticeable gain. Initially a challenge, SolidEnergy had to make do with equipment created to make battery components for consumer electronics.

More than 20 people have been killed and 94 injured in what is believed to be a terror attack on a wedding in southern Turkey.

We condemn the traitors who organised and carried out this attack, Ali said.

It said in a statement that it was "quite significant" that the attack, which it also blamed on IS, came hours after the Kurdistan Communities Union, a militant organization that includes the PKK, announced plans to try to negotiate to end a three-decade conflict between Kurdish militants and the Turkish government.

France, Greece, Azerbaijan, Britain, Sweden, Qatar, Pakistan, Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt were among the countries that offered their condolences and condemned the attack.

"We stand by our ally and partner Turkey and reaffirm our commitment to defeating the common threat of terrorism", the statement said.

He concluded by asking "for the gift of peace for everyone".

Over 200 guests piled into a street in the city of Gaziantep in the nation's Sahinbey district, near the Syrian border, to celebrate the Kurdish street wedding now enfolding when the blast occurred somewhere around 11 p.m. local time say local witnesses. This marriage was targeted because he was a Kurdish wedding.

The bombing took place in a narrow street in the city of Gaziantep, located around 25 miles from the Syrian border, where people had gathered to take part in a Kurdish street wedding.
