bombing, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the
blast. Suruc, in southeastern Turkey, is just across the border from Kobani, the scene of fierce battles between Kurdish groups and the Islamic State group that lasted from last year into early this year. Ilyas Akengin / AFP - Getty Images
