About one-third of 240,000 Syrian refugee households in Lebanon are headed by women, in stark contrast to Syria's traditions which see men as providers and protectors. The husbands of the women surviving on their own are either dead, missing, chose to remain in Syria or tried to make their way to Europe. (AP Photo/Bilal Hussein) (AP)

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility and released a photo of the attacker where he appears to be no more than 16 years old. The suicide attacker who detonated his explosives amid an outdoor Kurdish wedding party, Saturday, Aug. 20, 2016, in southeastern Turkey, killing at least 51 people, was an Islamic State group child as young as 12 years old.

bombing in Aleppo continues

FILE -- In this Monday, Dec. 5, 2016 file photo, a ball of fire rises following an air strike hits insurgents positions in eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo, Syria. Aleppo shakes with explosions and gunfire day and night in both the government and rebel sides. But for supporters of President Bashar Assad at least, there is comfort in the growing sense of imminent victory in the city. A rebel defeat in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and former commercial center, is likely to reverberate across the war-torn country, where opposition forces continue to hold out in smaller, more disconnected areas.
