Turkey's beleaguered tourism industry is bracing after three suspected Islamic State suicide bombers opened fire and blew themselves up in Istanbul's main airport, killing 41 people. Laura Frykberg reports.
Thousands of people gathered on Tuesday in Turkey's Hatay region, at 04:17 AM, the exact same hour a devastating earthquake hit the country a year ago, killing more than 53,500 people. Demonstrators chanted "we won't forgive, we won't forget", lit candles and scuffled with police when the latter tried to block a road. Hatay is the worst hit region from a total of 11 affected by last year's earthquake in Turkey. IMAGES
