ISTANBUL – Turkey’s president on Sunday blamed the Islamic State group for the bombing of an outdoor wedding party in the southeast that killed 50 people and wounded dozens of others. The attack late Saturday in Gaziantep, near Turkey’s border with Syria, appeared to be a suicide bombing, officials said. “This was a wedding party. Just a regular wedding party,” Hamdullah Ceyhan told Anadolu. A dual suicide bombing blamed on IS at a peace rally in Turkey’s capital, Ankara, in October killed 103 victims.
