** Suicide Attack
------------------------------------------------------------
Suicide attackers armed with guns and bombs killed 41 people and wounded hundreds at Istanbul’s busy Ataturk Airport, apparently targeting Turkey’s crucial tourism industry. The Turkish government blamed the attack on ISIS, as Reuters reports (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-turkey-blast-idUSKCN0ZE2J1 ) .

The Wall Street Journal (http://www.wsj.com/articles/istanbul-terror-attacks-highlight-airports-landside-weak-spots-1467214118 ) ’s Robert Wall reports today that the terrorist attack on Ataturk Airport highlights one of commercial aviation’s greatest vulnerabilities: the so-called landside spaces where people gather before and after flights.

And the New York Times’ Justin Sablich’s “Is Istanbul Safe? What Travelers Should Know (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/travel/is-istanbul-safe-what-travelers-should-know.html ) ” is an important read.

CFR today hosted a “Conversation with CIA Director John Brennan,” which can be viewed On Demand (http://www.cfr.org/intelligence/john-brennan-transnational-threats-global-security/p38082) .

And, the Wilson Center’s Henri Barkey today authored an op-ed for CNN.com: “Who is behind Istanbul attack? (http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/28/opinions/istanbul-airport-attack-barkey/index.html) ”

** The Three Amigos
------------------------------------------------------------
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada welcomed President Obama and President Enrique Pena Nieto of Mexico today for a North American Leaders Summit, the
Washington Post’s Juliet Eilperin reports, “As the EU falls apart, North American leaders seek unity in Ottawa. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/06/29/as-the-e-u-falls-apart-north-american-leaders-seek-unity-in-ottawa-wednesday/) ”

Today, the leaders announced a wide-ranging North America clean energy partnership and pushed back on calls for walling off their nations from free trade, as the AP’s Kevin Freking and Rob Gilles report from Ottawa (http://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article86581262.html) .

And, Reuters’ Roberta Rampton and David Ljunggren report (http://in.reuters.com/article/us-usa-canada-mexico-idINKCN0ZF0BV) from Ottawa that Canada, the US, and Mexico vowed to deepen their economic ties, pushing back against anti-free-trade sentiment that has shifted political debate in the US and Europe.

** Critical Quote
------------------------------------------------------------

** "“The horrific attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport underlines Turkey’s growing vulnerability to terrorism. Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim identified ISIS “as the perpetrators” and it seems clear that the group has increasingly focused on targets in Turkey as it has come under increasing military pressure in Syria and Iraq.”"
