    Default Bombings and gunshots in Ataturk Airport

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36658187

    At least two explosions and gunfire have rocked Istanbul's Ataturk international airport, with reports of "multiple" people injured.

    Two suicide bombers blew themselves up, Reuters news agency quoted a Turkish official as saying.

    Police had opened fire to neutralise the suspects at an entry point, it added.
    In December, a blast on the tarmac at a different Istanbul airport, Sabiha Gokcen, killed a cleaner.

    Recent bomb attacks in Turkey have been linked to Kurdish separatists or the so-called Islamic State group.

    Forty people were injured in the attack, Turkish newspaper Haberturk reports on its website (in Turkish).

    Gunfire was reportedly directed from an airport car park.

    A US State Department travel warning for Turkey, originally published in March and updated on Monday, urges US citizens to "exercise heightened vigilance and caution when visiting public access areas, especially those heavily frequented by tourists."

    Hopefully minimal casualties, but a tragedy regardless of the number. Thoughts, prayers etc for the victims and families.

    36 confirmed dead and 150+ injured. Some reports say more than 60 dead. Horrifying. Attacks like this are really ramping up, seems like it won't be long before we need Israel-style anti-terror measures at places like airports.

    Also huge media blackouts and the censorship and blocking of social media happening in Turkey in the wake of this.

    Let's hope the Turkish people find strength to fight back against radical Islam and their moronic government who do everything they can to support and feed this type of terrorism.
