Thousands of employees and other mourners gathered in the terminal building of Istanbul's Ataturk airport on Thursday to commemorate the employees who lost their lives in the triple suicide attack.

Authorities have blamed the Islamic State group for the blood bath, a coordinated assault on one of the world's busiest airports and on a key NATO ally that plays a crucial role in the fight against the extremist group.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility by the militant group.
