ISTANBUL, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Turkey's counter-terrorism teams on Friday detained 11 foreigners, including a Russian, in connection with the deadly bombing attacks on Istanbul's Ataturk airport, local media reported.
Tuesday's triple suicide attacks on Ataturk Airport left 44 people dead and more than 200 others injured.
The 11 suspects were captured in Istanbul's district of Basaksehir, the Haberturk daily said.
So far, 24 suspects have been detained in Istanbul. On Thursday, police arrested at least nine others in Turkey's western city of Izmir.
No group has claimed responsibility for the assault, but the Turkish authorities blamed it on the Islamic State.
