Massacre at Turkish Wedding May-05 2009
Masked attackers have raided a wedding party in south-eastern Turkey, killing 44 people, including six children.
Sixteen women also died when attackers wielding automatic rifles and grenades burst into a celebration in Bilge Koyu, in Mardin province, officials said.
Turkey has fought Kurdish separatists in the area for 25 years, but this attack has been linked to a local "blood feud" and a pro-Turkish militia.
Eight people were arrested with weapons overnight, the interior minister said.
