    The funerals of victims of the Ankara bombings in Turkey continue today. At least 97 people died over the weekend when suicide bombers struck a rally in Ankara on Saturday - the worst attack of its kind in the country's history. The Turkish prime minister says the Islamic State is to blame, but there is anger in Turkey that the government was not able to stop the attack.
