Thirteen suspects linked to the Istanbul airport terror attack were remanded in custody by a court in Istanbul on June 3.      

The defendants, including three foreigners, were jailed pending trial by a judge at Bakırköy Peace Court, a security source said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media.      

The exact nature of the charges they face is unknown.      

Earlier on June 3, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said 29 people had been arrested in connection with the June 28 gun and bomb attack at Atatürk International Airport that left 45 dead and more than 200 injured.
