Turkish raids target Islamic state group suspects
Police in Istanbul conducted a series raids in the city targeting Islamic State suspects, the state-run news agency reported Thursday, following the gunfire and suicide bomb attack at Ataturk Airport which killed 42 people.
Anadolu Agency said police searched several addresses in Istanbul's Pendik, Basaksehir and Sultanbeyli neighborhoods but it was not clear if any arrests were made. There was no word on whether the raids were directly linked to the attack.
Authorities blamed the IS group for the coordinated attack by three assailants late Tuesday on one of the world's busiest airports, that also injured more than 230.
