Turkey warns of response after Syria border town bombs

Turkey has warned it will take any necessary measure to protect itself after two car bombs exploded in a town on its border with Syria.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu vowed to catch those behind the attack, adding: "Nothing will go unanswered."
At least 43 people died in Reyhanli which is home to many Syrian refugees.
Turkey, a member of Nato, said it suspected the involvement of a Syrian intelligence agency.
Turkey is a strong supporter of the opposition in Syria's civil war and a vocal critic of the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
The US and Nato have condemned the bombs and expressed support for Ankara.
Speaking during a visit to Berlin, Mr Davutoglu said it was "not a coincidence" that the bombings occurred as diplomatic efforts to solve the Syrian crisis were intensifying.
"There may be those who want to sabotage Turkey's peace, but we will not allow that," he said.
"No-one should attempt to test Turkey's power. Our security forces will take all necessary measures."
However, he said he saw no reason to call an emergency meeting of Nato. Such a meeting would be the first step towards involving the alliance in any possible response
