At least 22 of the victims in a suicide bomb attack on a wedding party in the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep at the weekend were under the age of 14, a government official said on Monday.
A suicide bomber aged between 12 and 14 carried out the attack that killed at least 51 people, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday, adding that initial evidence has suggested it was orchestrated by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The official said the toll of 51 dead did not include the bomber.
