Terror in Turkey - but the president is riding high

Turkey is mourning more attacks. But there's no political price for the government.

More attacks hit Turkey this week -- the Islamic State group said it carried out one; the other was blamed on Kurdish separatists. But the government has avoided the kind of popular criticism that might normally be expected after the deaths of hundreds of its citizens. Tens of thousands of alleged security threats have been sacked or arrested in recent months. Are the right people being targeted?
