Turkish authorities have placed seven more suspects under arrest over the triple suicide bombings at Istanbul’s main airport last month, bringing to 37 the number charged over the attack.
Forty-seven people were killed and 200 wounded in the June 28 bombings and gun attacks on Ataturk International Airport which the Turkish authorities blamed on IS extremists.
Seven suspects, all foreigners, were placed under arrest by an Istanbul court on Sunday following their detention last week, the Dogan news agency reported, adding to the 30 already remanded in custody. The seven, like the other suspects, have been charged with “membership of a terror group” and assisting in murder.
