ISTANBUL — Two suspected Islamic State operatives have been detained at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport, which was the scene of last week’s deadly triple suicide bombing-and-gun attack, a Turkish news agency said Monday. In total, 29 suspects have been detained in connection to the attack, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency. Three militants armed with assault rifles and suicide bombs stormed Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport on June 28, killing 44 people. In turn, Turkey has blamed IS for several major bombings in the past year in Ankara and Istanbul.
