Attack 'unfortunate' and 'saddening' says Turkish PM Erdogan
Weeping Kurdish mourners today branded Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan a 'murderer' as they buried 35 civilians killed in a botched air attack.
The victims, half aged 17 to 20, were smuggling along the border when they were mistaken by Turkish military jet bombers for Kurdish rebels based in Iraq.
Many women lay on the ground wailing for their loss as the coffins were carried to Gulyazi cemetery, close to the Iraqi border, from the nearby town of Uludere where a service was held at the mosque.
