Without providing the foreigners’ nationalities, the Dogan news agency reported that the suspects belong to a terror and homicide group, endangering the unity of the state. Turkey’s Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that the police had arrested 29 people so far in connection with the attacks. Officials had previously said the three bombers were a Russian, an Uzbek and a Kyrgyz national. Turkish media have identified the strike’s organizer as Akhmed Chatayev, the Chechen leader of an Islamic State cell in Istanbul.
