1610 GMT: Deadly Bombing Inside Turkey on the Border
Leading Turkish officials have been issuing statements as the death toll from the two car bombs in Reyhanli, just inside Turkey on the Syrian border, passed 40 with more than 100 injured.
President Abdullah Gul said, "We should be careful against provocations," while Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared:
These actions could have been taken to raise sensitivity in Hatay Province. Twenty to twenty-five thousand refugees live in camps and others are our guests.
The culprits could be those who could not digest this. Or it could be those who want to provoke this fact.
I think we need to be very careful and patient.
