The bodies of two British diplomats killed in last week's suicide bomb attack against the British Consulate in Istanbul were flown home Thursday after a somber ceremony at Istanbul's international airport.
Turkish soldiers loaded the two coffins, each draped with
a Union Jack, onto a Turkish military cargo plane for the
trip to Britain. Istanbul Governor Muammer Guler joined other British diplomats for the religious ceremony at Ataturk Airport.
