Two car bomb attacks near the northern Syrian town of al Bab have killed at least 68 people.
The blasts came as the town was liberated from Islamic State by Turkish forces and Syrian opposition fighters.
Islamic State militants have withdrawn from al Bab, but retain control of areas surrounding it.
The first blast struck outside a security office the village of Sousian, five miles northeast of al Bab, killing at least 60 people, including civilians waiting to get permits to return home to al Bab.
At least six Syrian fighters were also among the dead, according to Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim.
