Isis attack was against Turkey, not just Kurds, and it is a threat to all the world

The letter from Diane Abbott and others (Western bombs will not stop Isis in Syria, 25 August) needs some clarification. The Isis/Daesh attack in Suruç was not against the Kurds, but against Turkey and Turkish citizens. Not all victims of this attack were of Kurdish origin. Daesh poses a direct and imminent threat not only to Turkey or the other countries in the region, but also to Europe, other western countries and all citizens of the world.
