After Blasts killed almost 100 Turkey in mourning.


The attack left 245 people injured, with 48 of them in a serious condition.
TV footage showed scenes of panic and people lying on the ground covered in blood, amid protest banners.
The government called the blasts a "terrorist act" and angrily rejected allegations that it was to blame.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said there was evidence that two suicide bombers had carried out the attack, which comes three weeks before a re-run of June's inconclusive parliamentary elections.

Peace rally

The blasts took place near the city's central train station as people gathered for a march organised by leftist groups demanding an end to the violence between the Kurdish separatist PKK militants and the Turkish government.
The two explosions happened shortly after 10:00 as crowds gathered ahead of the rally. Amateur video footage showed a group of young people holding hands and singing, as the first blast hits.
"A ceasefire between the Kurdish militant group the PKK and Turkey's government broke down after the attack in Suruc, with the PKK accusing the security forces of collaborating with IS.
This led to an increase in attacks from both sides over the summer.

On Saturday, the PKK called on its fighters to halt its guerrilla activities in Turkey except in cases of self-defence. A statement from an umbrella group that includes the PKK said its forces would "make no attempts to hinder or harm the exercise of a fair and equal election".
