A Turkish court on Thursday jailed eight people for multiple life sentences for ties to a 2016 Islamic State-linked suicide bombing on a Kurdish wedding that killed 57 people, state media reported.
At least 34 children were among those killed on August 20, 2016 when the bomb tore through the weekend wedding as the party was breaking up. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blamed IS militants. Charges included violating the constitution and murder. One suspect was also sentenced for the deaths of three police officers killed in October 2016 during a raid as part of the investigation into the August attack, the agency said.
The attack and shelling from IS controlled areas in Syria prompted Ankara to push for a military operation to clear the Syrian border area of IS militants.
