Kurds Suicide Bombed in Turkey, Dozens Dead.

"Fight & kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait & ambush them using every stratagem of war." So Allah tells his demented devotees, in the most important verse of his evil & inchoate Koran, number 9:5, otherwise known as the 'Verse of the Sword'. 'Every stratagem of war' implies a certain ruthlessness in the conduct of jihad & that is exactly what we observe.

Islamic terrorists are the most shamelessly ruthless, as we have come to realise & targeting a youth group assembled to aid in the rebuilding of a town wrecked by said Islamic terrorists fits the moral template that we have come to recognise. One would have to question the judgement of the Islamic State, however, in conducting operations in Turkey today, a country that has rendered assistance to them in the past, even if the target was a group of Kurds, as reported by BBC:

Suruc explosion: At least 27 killed in Turkey border blast

A suspected suicide attack has killed at least 27 people and wounded nearly 100 others in the Turkish town of Suruc near the Syrian border.

The blast occurred in the garden of a cultural centre at about 09:00 GMT, the interior ministry said.

Hundreds of young people were staying there to assist in rebuilding work in the nearby Syrian town of Kobane.

Turkish officials told Reuters initial evidence indicated it was a suicide attack by the Islamic State (IS) group.

Suruc has housed many refugees who have fled fighting in Kobane between IS militants and Kurdish fighters since September last year, when IS overran the town.

The Federation of Socialist Youth Associations (SGDF) is reported to have had at least 300 members staying at the Amara Culture Centre to take part in rebuilding work in Kobane.

Graphic images of the scene immediately after the blast were tweeted by the federation.

Selfie seconds before slaughter: the taker of this photo was seriously injured in the blast. Her friends were both killed.

A photo taken prior to the blast showed the group in the garden having lunch.

A statement from the interior ministry said: "We call on everyone to stand together and remain calm in the face of this terrorist attack which targets the unity of our country."

Pervin Buldan, a senior lawmaker from Turkey's pro-Kurdish HDP opposition party, said: "Turkish and Kurdish youth had come to cross into Kobane, and there were three or four days of activities planned."
