Nightmare at the Istanbul Airport
At least 41 people have died and 230 are injured in attacks on Ataturk Airport, according to the latest casualty counts.
At least 41 people are confirmed killed and 230 injured following a combined gun and bomb attack on Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport Tuesday night, Europe’s third busiest. A Turkish media blackout on reporting of the attack has made it difficult to confirm full details as yet, but this is what we know so far.
Among casualties confirmed so far, 18 Turkish citizens have been named, with police officers, tourist guides, a taxi driver and airport employees listed among the dead. Five Saudis, two Iraqis, and citizens of China, Jordan, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Iran, and Ukraine were also killed. Among the injured, some in critical condition, there are many more Turks, seven Saudi nationals, five Iranians and a Ukrainian.
