The Turkish Prime Minister now says authorities aren't sure whether a child or an adult was responsible for a suicide bombing at a wedding.

More than 50 people, many of them children, were killed in the city of Gaziantep on Saturday. 

Officials had said the attacker was between 12 and 14 years old.

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he believed Islamic State were behind the bombing.

Meanwhile, AFP reports that Turkish armed forces have launched artillery strikes on Islamic State and Kurdish militia in northern Syria.

The victims of the attack were buried on Sunday in a local cemetery.
