Angry Gaziantep Mourners Slam Turkish Government for Failure to Protect Citizens

International

ANKARA-A funeral procession for victims of a bomb attack in Turkey’s Gaziantep has turned into an anti-government demonstration, with participants slamming the Turkish government for failure to protect security of citizens, Press TV reported.

Hundreds of angry mourners chanting “Murderer Erdogan (the Turkish president)” gathered for the funeral of 12 of the victims of the bombing that killed over 50 people in a wedding ceremony in Gaziantep late on Saturday.

 The terrorist attack was carried out when the attacker detonated explosives among the crowd. The huge explosion also inflicted injuries on more than 90 people, including the bride and groom.

“The explosion was the result of a … bomber aged between 12 and 14 who either detonated (the bomb) or others detonated it,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at a press conference in Istanbul on Sunday, adding that 69 of the wounded remained in hospital.

Erdogan says the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group is the “likely perpetrator” of the wedding blast.

According to security sources, funerals for other victims would have to wait for the results of DNA tests to identify those victims.
