Seven Saudis injured in Ataturk Airport attacks

ISTANBUL, June 29 (KUNA) -- Seven Saudis were injured in Istanbul's Ataturk Airport attacks on Tuesday but they were all in good health condition, the Saudi Embassy said in a statement.
In the attacks, at least two explosions, presumably suicidal, took place in the arrivals' hall. The Turkish authorities said three suicidal bombers blew themselves up in the airport.
The embassy added that the Saudi mission formed a team of diplomats, and headed directly to the airport to help some of the injured Saudis. They took them to hospitals for treatment.
Others of the injured Saudis had been whisked to hospitals by the Turkish relief teams. (end) ta.mar
