An explosion outside a cultural centre in the Turkish town of Suruc near the border with Syria killed at least 28 people and wounded many more on Monday, in what senior officials said may have been a suicide bombing by Islamic State militants.

Television footage showed bodies lying beneath trees outside the building in the mostly Kurdish town in southeastern Turkey, some 10 km from the Syrian town of Kobani.
