Developing news out of Istanbul. It seems yet another suicide attack has been perpetrated in Turkey, which has seen a half dozen or so of these over the past few months. Last time it was on the popular commercial Istiklal street, and this time it’s in Ataturk Airport. Apparently two suicide bombers fired their way into a security checkpoint area and blew themselves up. So far 28 dead and 60 injured.
On a personal note, my colleagues with whom I work on an archaeological project there just arrived a few days ago, and one of my graduate students passed through the airport this morning. Scary stuff.
