The latest on Tuesday’s shooting/bombing terror attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport:
- 41 victims have died and 109 remain hospitalized.
- No organization has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, and while ISIS is obviously a potential suspect, officials have not disclosed any evidence of the group’s involvement.
- Regular air traffic resumed at Ataturk at about 2:30 a.m. local time, roughly 4½ hours after the attacks, which is heartening, because it demonstrates how little these attacks are ultimately able to accomplish, but also hugely frustrating, because what was the point of taking these 41 lives away? To stop traffic at an airport for four hours?
We’ll update this post as information becomes available.
