* Turkey begins construction on 500-mile concrete wall along Syrian border
* It hopes to put a stop to the tide of jihadi fighters flooding in from Syria
* Government announced the plans in July after suicide attack left 32 dead
* Plans include barbed wire, a patrol road and 24-hour surveillance drones

Turkey has begun construction of a wall along its border with Syria to keep out jihadi fighters, but critics claim the move has come too late to have an effect.

The plans for the high-security border fence were announced in July, just three days after a suicide attack in the border town of Suruc left 32 people dead.

As well as a 500-miles concrete wall stretching the length of the border between the two countries, plans include barbed wire, a dedicated patrol road and a reinforced fence.
