Turkey suicide attack: Oman closely monitoring situation

Muscat: Oman is monitoring the situation in Turkey and so far there are no updates on whether Omanis are injured or not in the blast, the ministry of foreign affairs tweeted on its official twitter handle.
“We are in touch with the Oman embassy in Turkey,” the ministry tweet added.
Three suicide attackers killed at least 36 people and wounded dozens more at Istanbul’s main airport on Tuesday night, in the latest in a string of terrorist attacks in Turkey.
Hours after the assault, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim of Turkey said that early indications pointed to an operation carried out by the IS, but as of early Wednesday, the group had not claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attack began shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday, Turkish officials said, when two gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons at a security checkpoint outside Istanbul’s Ataturk airport, one of Europe’s busiest. They then detonated their explosives, setting off two fireballs. A third attacker set off explosives in the parking lot.
