The suicide assault on Istanbul’s Ataturk airport bears the “hallmark” of a Daesh attack, CIA Director John Brennan said Wednesday.
Brennan said “The despicable attacks in Istanbul International Airport yesterday that killed dozens and injured many more certainly bears the hallmark of Daesh’s depravity,” Al Arabiya news channel reported
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama said on Wednesday the United States stood with the people of Turkey after the suicide bombing at Istanbul’s main airport.
Obama, speaking to reporters during a trip to Canada, said he discussed the US commitment to fight ISIS militants during a call with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan earlier in the day.
Obama on Wednesday also offered US security assistance to Turkey after the blast.
Obama telephoned Erdogan “to express his deep condolences on behalf of the American people,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters traveling with the US leader to a summit in Ottawa.
“In the context of that call, he will offer any support that the Turks can benefit from as they conduct this investigation and take steps to further strengthen the security situation in their country.”
“Any information that we obtain that could be useful to the Turkish investigation, we will certainly share that information,” he added.
