Turkey - Mardin wedding party attack, at least 45 died

04.May.2009 An attack on a wedding ceremony in the Turkey's Mardin province killed at least 45 persons. The assault on the Mazidagi Bilge village was done with automatic weapons and bombs. Autorities deny the event as a terrorism-related incident, instead they consider it a revenge between guests. The place of the tragic event is close to the border with Syria and for many years it has been overwhelmed by conflicts between Kurdish activists and government troups, therefore most of the people in the area bear weapons. Turkish wedding attack claims that 6 childred were also among those murdered in Bilge Koyu, approximately 20 km from Mardin city. The witnesses described the scene as horryfying, the supposed celebration transforming Mardin in a wedding massacre.
