Istanbul Airport Bombed, 31 Dead, 150 Wounded

Ataturk Airport, the largest in Turkey and third busiest airport in the world, was the target of suicide bombers on Tuesday. Witnesses testified seeing 3 gunmen who opened fire to the people before setting off explosives.

Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said that a total of 31 were killed while 150 got wounded as a result of the attack. No group is claiming responsibility for the bombing yet, but police sources say that evidences point out to the Islamic State. This is because the same incident showed semblance to the attack that happened in Brussels airport on March 16.

Turkey President Tayyip Erdogan meanwhile has expressed that terrorism nowadays has no regard on faith and values since the bombing took place during the Ramadan.

The country has suffered from a series of attack just this year. It included two car bombings in Ankara and two suicide attacks in Istanbul. Turkey is known to be actively fighting the Islamic State and Kurdish militants.
