On Tuesday evening, three suicide bombers attacked Turkey's busy Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, in which atleast 36 people killed and 147 injured, reported Turkish officials.

No group claimed for the attack yet, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said, “ initial findings suggest the men were affiliated with the Islamic State, Our first assessments of the attacks make it look like this was an ISIS attack," and anonymous Turkish security official told the media that, "The target and modus operandi are similar to what we’ve seen during the Brussels airport attacks."
