Turkey's president blames Islamic State for wedding attack

ISTANBUL -- Turkey's president on Sunday blamed the Islamic State group for the bombing of an outdoor wedding party in the southeast that killed 30 people and wounded 94 others.

 

Officials say Saturday's attack in Gaziantep, near Syria's border, appeared to be a suicide bombing.

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a statement early Sunday saying that IS was "the most likely perpetrator of the Gaziantep attack."

 

Erdogan said there was "absolutely no difference" between IS, Kurdish rebels and Gulen's movement, calling them terrorist groups.
