killed in that explosion. >> go live to mohammed jamjoon at the scene of the plast. we have looked at these fairly graphic images mohammed. perhaps no surprise that the death toll has already rizzep slightly. >> yeah. that's right. there is a concern that the death toll might rise even higher because there are so mary injured that are still being treated. now, there is a new development at this hour martin. we have heard from turkish prime minister. he has told his country that they have identified one of the suspects in this bombing and that there their links are being investigated. basically, et cetera trying to tell thepurcish public that the government is doing as much as pops toibl try to make sure this doesn't happen again and they are trying to bring the perpetrators of this horrific crime to justice. while nobody has yet claimed responsibility for this attack it is widely believed and it has been announced by the government of turkey that they believe it is isil that is behind this attack. here in suruj, we have a sense of real feeling of anger. we have spoken to people who have come to the community center right behind me where the attacks took place. they have come to pay their respects. earlier, you had members of the pro-kurdish political party here talking about the anger they were feeling toward the turkish government. mary who have spoken here today believe the government has not done enough to protect in this board arer region so close to syria. >> if this is indeed the work of isil, it carries on with a pattern that they have now established and that is targeting minorities in the middle east. >> absolutely. this is very much part and parcel of what isil has been doing and while they have not yet made any kind of announcement, the group has not claimed responsibility for it, as i said, especially here in turkey, it is widely believed they are behind it because it is so similar to the kind of attacks they have perpetrated in the past. they go after specific ethnic groups, do try to go after a specific sect. they are very much sectarian attacks innate. so right now the turkish government really working overtime to try to identify all of the people that were behind it. one of the fears here in turkey especially in the border region them that this is a region that has been infiltrated by isil fighters. so there is a great concern in turkey these kind of attacks might happen more in the weeks and the months to come. we have seep certainly an ince in the alert level, security level. there are more checkpoints in and around suruj and, in fact we were told there will be more security later in the day because there would be funerals at least two, marching the bodies from the local hospital to one of the grave yards here in this village. there is some concern that could cause tension. the people who are angry, that might boil over. there might be more protests and everyone we have spoken with wants to make sure the situation, as volatile as it might be remains as calm as possible. >> tell us a little bit more about the victims, about what -- why they were gathering and what they were hoping to do with regard to ferrying over humanitarian aid to the other side of the border. >> reporter: it's such a sad story, martin. i am glad you asked that question. this sensecenter behind us is a community center that is mostly kurds come here. and there was a party, a group of youth activists that are based in istanbul kurdish youth activists that had come here because they were trying to deliver aid and trying to rebuild kobane the to in syria populated by kurds, right across the border from us here in syria, and this group activists have tried to come get medical supplies, supplies for children toys even to try to deliver to kobane. isil took it over last fall. kurdish fighters went in cleared isil out of there, but the town is still in ruins because of that, these activists wanted to go in there with a mission to rebuild, to bring supplies for kids for families for people that are ailing. and they were the ones that were targeted. that's what makes this as sad as it is even sadder. >>
