31 people were killed in an apparent Islamic State attack in Suruc town of Turkey on Monday. A bomb struck a group of young activists who had gathered to prepare for an aid mission in the nearby Syrian town of Kobani.

The explosion tore through a group of mostly university-aged students from an activist group as they gathered to make a statement to the local press about a trip they were planning to help rebuild the neighbouring war-torn town of Kobani. RETUERS

Body parts were strewn everywhere after the attack. The attack comes after Turkey deployed troops along parts of its border with Syria, concerned about the risk of spillover of the fighting between Kurdish forces, rebel groups, Syrian government and Islamic State in Syria. REUTERS
