Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., predicted there would be a major Islamic State attack in Turkey just two days before Tuesday’s triple suicide bombing at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport.
“One of our NATO allies right now that faces the greatest threat of ISIS is Turkey,” Rubio said in an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “I would not be surprised over the next few weeks to see major ISIS operations within Turkey itself.”
Three terrorists armed with bombs and guns blew themselves up at the airport, killing 41 people and wounding hundreds more. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Turkish government has blamed the Islamic State.
