Video footage has emerged purporting to show a suspect shooting a
plain-clothes policeman at point blank range during Tuesday’s (June 28)
gun and bomb attack on Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport.
According to a Turkish government official, the three suspected bombers are from Russia, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
The pro-government Yeni Safak newspaper also suggested Chechen
involvement. It reported the organiser of the attack was Akhmed
Chatayev, a male of Chechen origin.
A United Nations sanctions list names him as an ISIL leader charged with training Russian-speaking militants. Chayatev is listed as being wanted by Russian authorities.
Turkish officials have not confirmed his involvement.
