Four children among Turkish bomb dead
  • 12 years ago
A 12-year old girl has become the ninth person to die following Monday's car bomb attack on the Turkish city of Gaziantep.

Four children are now known to have died in the bomb blast.

Hundreds of people gathered on the streets of the southeastern city on Monday night, protesting against the bombing.

Gaziantep is close to Turkey's border with Syria, and near refugee camps where thousands of Syrians are sheltering.

There has been a recent escalation in fighting between Turkish security forces and Kurdish separatists.

But the PKK, or the Kurdistan Workers' Party, has denied responsibility.
