      Riot police used water cannon and tear gas to disperse crowds in Istanbul, Monday, after protesters gathered in solidarity with the victims of the attack in Suruc that killed dozens earlier in the day. The streets were filled with chaos, with protesters throwing fireworks and other missiles at police.

      At least 28 people were killed and 100 injured in a reported cluster bomb attack that hit the town of Suruc, which is located near the Syrian border in southeastern Turkey. The attack targeted a gathering of the Socialist Youth Associations Federation (SGDF), who gathered to organise humanitarian assistance to Kobane.

      Turkish officials claim the attack was conducted by the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
