On Tuesday, a coordinated terrorist attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport left at least 43 people dead and more than 240 injured.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that the initial indications suggest that Daesh jihadist group was responsible for the attack, although the official investigation was still underway.
