Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says Turkish artillery have attacked Islamic State group positions in Iraq and in Syria in retaliation to the suicide bombing in Istanbul which killed 10 tourists.

Davutoglu says the Turkish military targeted 500 extremist positions along the border with Syria and near a Turkish camp in northern Iraq. The attacks took place in the past 48 hours and he says 200 Islamic State members were killed, he says.
