Turkey's president on Sunday blamed the Islamic State group for the bombing of an outdoor wedding party in the southeast that killed 51 people and wounded dozens of others.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at a news briefing that a suicide bomber aged between 12 and 14 was responsible for the attack in the Turkish city of Gaziantep, according to AFP.

Erdogan had issued a statement early Sunday denouncing the "heinous" bombing and saying that IS was "the most likely perpetrator".
