Title: Istanbul Ataturk airport attack: At least 28 reported dead
Post by: Norrage on June 28, 2016, 11:21:30 pm

ISTANBUL — Two explosions at Turkey’s largest airport left at least 10 people dead and wounded some 20 others on Tuesday night, according to Turkish authorities and television reports.

The Turkish justice minister, Bekir Bozdag, said 10 people had been killed in an attack on Ataturk airport. He said that one attacker fired an automatic weapon before detonating explosives.

Another Turkish government official said that the police fired shots at two suspected attackers at the entryway to the airport’s international terminal, in an effort to stop them before they reached the building’s security checkpoint. The two suspects then blew themselves up, the official said.

CNN Turk reported that one suicide bomber detonated explosives inside the terminal building and another outside in a parking lot.

NTV showed footage of airport employees streaming out of the area of the bombing, and tourists walking away, some were seen caryying luggage and some seen using their mobile phones. A Turkish twitter user posted a video of what appeared to be footage of the bombing. A sharp flash of light is seen piercing the outside area in front of the airport entrance.

Terrorists have been around for years. But, you can't changed a mentality like through magic. Many people still think it is okay to throw their rubbish on the streets. Not that this incident isn't terrible. Oh, but it is very terrible. But, yeah, this is the world and has been for over 50 years already.
