A Bomb blast has killed 30 and 100 others are wounded from the attack at a border town of Suruc in Turkey on Monday.

ISIS (Islamic State) have claimed responsibility for the Tunisia beach killing of 38 tourists— the majority of them said to be British.
The extremist group have said they were behind the attack in the resort, naming the gunman who targeted Western tourists as Abu Yahya Qayrawani – thought to be the jihadi name of the killer shot dead by authorities after Friday’s attack.
After it became obvious that majority of those killed in the attack were British, UK’s Prime Minister-David Cameron said the country needs to prepare itself for the fact that ‘many of those killed’ in the ‘savage’ Tunisian shooting were British.
