Turkey blocks Twitter over ‘malicious' photos

Turkey briefly blocked access to Twitter Wednesday to prevent the spread of images of Monday's bombing in Suruc. At least 30 people died and many others were wounded in the attack.

A Turkish government official said that Twitter access was returned after the company "removed malicious content, including hate speech, in line with the court order."

Turkish officials confirmed that Monday's bombing was a suicide attack. They identified the bomber as Seyh Abdurrahman Alagoz, a 20-year-old Turkish national. The explosion targeted an activist group that was planning to travel to Syria to help rebuild the city of Kobani.

Cameroon banned full-face coverings last week after Boko Haram attacks in the town of Fotokol. The bombers were women dressed as devout Muslims.

Roof is accused of killing nine people at a historically black church last month.
