Al Jazeera: Turkey: Suicide bomber kills more than 50 at wedding

Turkey's Erdogan blames ISIL for attack in the Gaziantep province that has left at least 51 killed and scores wounded.

More than 50 people have been killed and scores more wounded in a suicide attack at a wedding ceremony in Turkey's southeastern province of Gaziantep, near the Syria border.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that "Daesh is the likely perpetrator of the attack", using the Arabic name for ISIL, also known as ISIS.

The president added that it is not yet clear whether the teenager detonated a suicide vest, or the vest was detonated remotely by someone else.
