Istanbul Ataturk airport attack: Deaths rise to 41, with 239 hurt

Three attackers arrived in a taxi and began firing at the terminal entrance late on Tuesday. They blew themselves up after police fired back.

PM Binali Yildirim said early signs pointed to so-called Islamic State.

However, no-one has so far admitted carrying out the attack.

What is new? It seems that USA and others will be fighting with them until the end comes.

Unfathomable. If we didn't know who was ultimately behind theses atrocities, we would be flummoxed.

As long as you aren't discombobulated.
