Turkish wedding suicide bomber was 12-14 years old, Erdogan says

[Zomis]

Hakki Okur's family was searching hospitals for him Sunday morning after an explosion at a Kurdish wedding in Turkey killed at least 51 people.

The 14-year-old boy's sister had last seen him running away after a small explosion at 11 p.m. Saturday, said his cousin Mesut Bozkurt. Suddenly, a larger explosion knocked the sister to the ground. She awoke in a hospital. She remembered last seeing her brother alive.
"We looked for Hakki in hospitals and police station all night long," Bozkurt said. "At 5.30 we were called to identify his body. No injuries on his head but burns on his chest. We think he may have been trapped in the panic, since he was a skinny boy."
The family learned later Sunday morning that Hakki's killer was between age 12 and 14.
Other children were among the dead.
Emine Ayhan told Turkish television the bombing seriously injured her husband and killed four of her five children. "If my remaining child was not alive, I would commit suicide," she said.
Authorities found a suicide vest at the scene, although it is unclear whether the boy bomber blew himself up or it was detonated remotely, the bomber's age apparently giving authorities pause at assigning him blame.
The age and the number of victims was the salient information Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered Sunday, according to Turkish media.
The attack hit an outdoor wedding celebration in a conservative Kurdish neighborhood in the city of Gaziantep, near the Syrian border. In a year of bloody terrorist attacks in Turkey, the wedding bombing ranks among the worst, the death toll surpassing the attack on the Ataturk Airport, which killed 44.
Speaking to reporters in Istanbul, the Turkish President said the terror group ISIS was the prime suspect behind the attack.
"The initial findings of the governor and our police forces indicate the attack has been perpetrated by Daesh," said Erdogan, using another term for the terror group. "As you know, Daesh is trying to position and organize itself in Gaziantep. Security operations have been conducted and are still being conducted against the terrorist organization."
Kurdish militants, who for decades have conducted attacks against the Turkish government in their quest for independence, have become key American allies in the battle against ISIS.

This is crazy! Now they are using kids!

This is nothing new.

Crappy foresight from that kid.

He should have waited a few months, Turkey is planning on lowering the age of consent, so he isn't going to be able to enjoy his virgins yet.

They use kids, retards and the mentally ill all the time. They strap them up with explosives, tell them to wait at a certain place then come back after an hour to get paid, meanwhile someone is holding the phone to detonate the bomb.

[Sykol]

So, like, in school when they ask you what you want to be when you grow up, did he just draw a mushroom cloud?

Perhaps he misheard the word "grow".

Doesn't matter. Majority of ethnic customs do not follow state rules. Same here in Romania with gypsies. They get married at 10-14 yo even tho it's illegal.

Bosnian Muslims n Kosovo Albanians gave their kids handgrenades to use, being unde-age Int troops let them go which encouraged the practice.
Not only against civilians but also against troops tricking them, kids become "martyrs"

erdogan must be outraged at ISIS killing kurds, that is his job!

That is more or less the average age of a solider in the middle east.

They get them loaded up with drugs then send them to fight. At first you feel bad fighting them but after a while you come to appreciate what shit tier soliders drugged up kids make.

Nothing good comes from the middle east. Forget that at your peril they are a rotten and vile people. I never honestly realized how bad it was till I was posted in one of their "lovely" countries.

No worries, Jack Bauer will be back to save the day.

are you saying that the middle east in its entirety is filled with "rotten and vile people" and that nothing good comes from the middle east... at all...

That's like saying, nothing good came from japan pre ww2, well we have George Takei's parents.

Plenty of good things have come from the middle east, especially when we look to science.

You believe anything that comes out of the dudes mouth? After the "coup" which he used to eliminate any and all opposition , I treat anything coming out of his mouth the same why I treat Hillary - It's a lie until proven other wise.

I'm preety sure this is nothing new.

Remember Kony 2012? Remember the "Hitlerjugend"?

There's despictions of children in any type of media being used for war purposes.
From what i've seen lately; Tyrant (TV-show), Game of Thrones (TV-show), Sniper (movie),Jin-Roh: the wolf brigade (anime-movie)... the list goes on and on; I know these are all fictional, but they had to get the idea from somewhere.

People were using children for this kind of purposes for a long time.

Lol...a fine method but this one came from attorney, he repeated what attorney said. It is highly likely to be ISIS and suicide bomber, or at least vest carrier (remote detonation), is a kid.

He's a hopeless fella full with hatred. If you haven't noticed that after 23k posts, I don't know what to say.

It's hard for people in the West to understand the religious.

Horrible stuff but don't belive a word that comes out of Erdogan mouth.

No, it's hard for anyone who is not religious.
