Istanbul Ataturk airport attack: At least 10 reported dead
Gonna be a long summer.
Istanbul Ataturk airport attack: At least 10 reported dead
BBC
19 minutes ago
From the section Europe
gun and bomb attack on Istanbul's Ataturk international airport has killed at least 10 people and injured others, with reports of at least one suicide bomber.
At least 20 people were also wounded with casualties being reportedly rushed to hospital in taxis.
Police opened fire to stop the suspects at an entry point, Reuters reports.
It appears that the attackers detonated explosives at the entrance to the international terminal.
"Ten people have been killed according to a preliminary toll," Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said.
"According to the information I was given, a terrorist at the international terminal entrance first opened fire with a Kalashnikov and then blew himself up," the minister added, according to the Associated Press.
Turkish media report that two suicide bombers were involved.

Turkish airports have security checks at both at the entrance of terminal buildings and then later before entry to departure gates.

Damn. Those were some determined "terrorist".
Anybody feel like wagering on how long it takes the US media to use the word "islam" in association with this tragedy.
My thoughts to the victims and their families.

Noted.
Good argument also for making sure you've flipped his circuit breaker completely.

True dat.
In abundance of caution - have we reached the point of encouraging everyone to travel with small individual trauma kits?

Sure do - and I should do better - would like to see push for this going mainstream - relatively small imposition for a large potential benefit.

I just hope the experts can figure out why this is happening.

Not enough hugs, high unemployment, drug use and the number one reason...
Readily availability of Assault Weapons purchased through gun-show loopholes without background checks.
The explosives were probably homemade in the kitchen using readily available chemicals from the local nail polish and message shop.
RIP the victims of this inhuman crime.

man, that's going to be messy with the lawyers' tweaking the ROE:
- You can't shoot an unarmed wounded man! That's execution style!
- How do you know he's unarmed?
Damn if you do, damn if you don't.
No wonder Balawi was able to pull that stunt at FOB Chapman
