ANKARA: Turkey declared Wednesday a day of national mourning over a deadly attack at Istanbul's international airport blamed by the government on Islamic State jihadists.

The government has ordered flags at half-staff. Turkey declared three days of national mourning after a twin sucide bombing killed over 100 people in the Turkish capital Ankara in October last year, again blamed on the IS group.
