This photograph, or “selfie”, is said to show some of the victims of Monday’s suicide bomb attack in the Turkish town of Suruç, moments before the tragedy.
The device exploded outside a cultural centre in the town, where a group of students had gathered ahead of a humanitarian trip to help with the reconstruction of the Kurdish city of Kobane, just over the nearby border with Syria.
