Demonstrations in Turkey after Suruc bomb attack

Police in Istanbul and Ankara fired tear gas and water cannon at protesters blaming the government for not doing enough to stop violence by the Islamic State group.

IS is believed to be responsible for a suicide bombing in the town of Suruc, which killed 30 people.

Investigators think a female suicide bomber was behind the blast, which hit a group of youth activists planning to cross into Syria to help rebuild the town of Kobane.
