The three suicide bombers who carried out a deadly attack on Istanbul's main airport were of Russian, Uzbek and Kyrgyz nationality, a Turkish official said on Thursday. Turkish authorities have said they believe the extremist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was behind the airport attack. The military killed two suspected ISIS members trying to enter Turkey illegally at the weekend, security sources said on Thursday. It has also carried out repeated raids on suspected ISIS safe houses in Turkey. The Kyrgyz security service declined to comment, while the Uzbek security service could not immediately be reached.
