Two suspected Islamic State jihadists have been detained at Istanbul's Ataturk airport, the Dogan news agency reported, less than a week after it was hit by a triple suicide attack. In total police have detained 29 people "including foreigners" in connection with the airport carnage, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Sunday. Their detention came as 13 suspects, including three foreigners, were charged yesterday over the June 28 gun and suicide bomb assault at the airport that killed 45 people including 19 foreigners. State news agency Anadolu has named two of them as Rakim Bulgarov and Vadim Osmanov, without giving their nationalities. Dogan said the two suspects held late on Sunday were Kyrgyz nationals, identifying them only by their initials, K.V and F.M.I, aged 25 and 35 respectively.
