"We can't rule out attacks like those in Istanbul also happening in our country," Hans-Georg Maassen told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Three suspected Islamic State suicide bombers killed 44 people at Istanbul's main airport on Tuesday, the deadliest in a string of attacks in Turkey this year. He said military defeats for Islamic State were not demoralising jihadists, and attacks in Europe were becoming ever more important for Islamic State to intimidate people and send the message to followers that "we're still here". At least 44 people were killed at Istanbul's main airport following a attack by three suspected ISIS suicide bombers. More than half (57 percent) of the 502 people polled called for tighter security in front of airport buildings in Germany because of the threat while 39 percent did not want that.
