MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Tuesday evening, three suicide blasts rocked the international terminal of Istanbul's Ataturk international airport, leaving at least 41 dead and 239 injured.

According to the Anadolu agency, security forces are double checking passengers after they have been machine-scanned. Passengers are not pleased with such a move but realize its necessity after the attack, the agency said.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that three suicide bombers participated in the attack. Initial indications suggest that Daesh is responsible for the terrorist attack, though the investigation is still underway, Yildirim said at a press conference Wednesday.
