IS suspects detained at Istanbul airport
Two suspected Islamic State jihadists are being helod at Istanbul's Ataturk airport as Turkish authorities boost security following the suicide bomb attacks on 28 June.
Dogan news agency said the two suspects held late Sunday were Kyrgyz nationals, identifying them by their initials, K.V. and F.M.I., aged 25 and 35. They were found with night-vision binoculars, military-style clothes in their suitcases, and two passports in different names.
Their detention came as 13 suspects, including three foreigners, were charged Sunday over the June 28 gun and suicide bomb assault at the airport that killed 45 people including 19 foreigners.
