Outpouring of grief in Turkey for victims of deadly bombings
Thousands of mourners gathered in the center of the Turkish capital of Ankara on Sunday, a day after twin explosions killed at least 95 people and injured hundreds of others at a peace rally.

The boy was described in a 911 call as a man waving and pointing a gun.
