Suruc suicide attack - in pictures

People search for survivors of the bomb blast in Suruc, Turkey (Reuters)

A bomb has exploded in the Turkish town of Suruc near the Syrian border killing at least 28 people and wounding nearly 100 more.

The suicide bombing, which Turkish officials say is believed to have been carried out by Isis, happened outside a cultural centre.

The town is situated just 10km across the border from Kobani in Syria, where Kurdish fighters have been locked in a fierce battle with Isis for control.
