Istanbul attack: Why Turkey again?
More than 40 people are believed to have died and over 230 injured in a bomb explosion at the Ataturk Istanbul airport on Tuesday night.
The Turkish government say they believe Islamic State militants are behind the attack, although no one has yet claimed responsibility.
It is the latest in a wave of terror attacks to hit Turkey this year.
BBC correspondent Hugh Sykes is in Istanbul's city centre with the Turkish newspaper columnist and author, Mustafa Akyol.
