US ambassador condemns Turkey wedding attack
The US ambassador to Turkey has condemned the “barbaric attack” on an outdoor wedding party that killed 50 and wounded dozens of others.
John Bass said “we stand by our ally Turkey and pledge to continue to work closely together to defeat the common threat of terrorism.”
Turkey’s president has blamed the Islamic State group for the bombing in the southeastern city of Gaziantep, near the border with Syria.
