Terrorist attack Istanbul Airport

Three suicide bombers opened fire before blowing themselves up at the international terminal of Ataturk Airport, Istanbul governor Vasip Sahin told NTV television.


Several witnesses reported two explosions but Mr Sahin said authorities believed there were three bombers.






Two of the attackers detonated their explosives when police fired at them, a second official said, citing information from the interior ministry.



A witness told NBC News that he saw a police officer diving to tackle one of the attackers - who then detonated his bomb.



The attack is understood to have happened near the airport entrance - before the assailants would have gone through security checks.



Pictures posted on social media showed wounded people lying on the ground inside and outside the terminal buildings.

"There was a huge explosion, extremely loud. The roof came down. Inside the airport it is terrible, you can't recognise it, the damage is big," said Ali Tekin, who was at the arrivals hall when the attack took place.
