TURKEY: THOUSANDS GATHER TO CONDEMN TERROR

"As police try to identify the attackers who carried out the deadly bomb attack in the Turkish coastal resort of Kusadasi that killed 5 people on Saturday, including three Europeans and two Turks, and injured 13, thousands of people gathered at the victims' funerals to condemn terrorist acts. “Terrorist activities target all religions and nationals. The sole aim of terror is to destroy humanity,” said Aydin's governor Mustafa Malay during the funeral of one of the Turkish victims, a 21-year-old woman called Deniz Tutum.

Thousands marched with Turkish flags during the funeral. Local people who watched the ceremony from the balconies threw flowers onto the coffin as the crowd passed by. Many shops also draped Turkish flags from their windows."
