Written by Teunis Felter

At least 41 people died in Tuesday’s attack on Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul, Turkey, and at least 239 people were injured. At least 10 foreigners are among the dead, the Turkish government says. The attack was carried out by three suicide bombers armed with guns and explosives, authorities say. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim says he suspects the Islamic State was behind it.
