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.

He said some 60 people were wounded. Six of those sustained serious injuries, the state-run Anadolu Agency said.

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

No mention of ISIS yet, but I wouldn't jump out of my chair if they claim they were behind this.  What is the world coming to?  We are living with cancer, there's just no way to stop this now that even war tactics is becoming decentralized.

As we are witnessing fourth generation warfare becoming more relevant, we have not seen any state or country becoming successful on how to counter it.

Yeah... ISIS was behind this. The Turks helped them in Syria, so that they could topple the Assad regime. They even provided weapons and training to the ISIS Jihadis. Now these same terrorists are using their Turkish weapons to attack the Turkish targets. Another thing is that this attack is going to completely destroy the Turkish tourism industry. Check this:

JFYI if you are not informed, This ISIS conspiracy initially started from America and Israel... Try to ponder on this idea, Did ISIS already attacked Israel? and America (not the type of attack made by psychopath fanatics, the self-proclaimed terrorist like what happened to Orlando mass shooting)?...  ISIS has attacked majority of the European countries except the said countries above.

A lot of these Middle Eastern countries actually don't produce anything in terms of value added manufacturing.

That leaves tourism and oil.

That leaves tourism and oil.

If things go on like this, then tourism will be finished in a matter of few years. And as far as oil is concerned, the prices will continue to decline as new technology lessens the cost of production. What makes this worse is the fact that the population is booming at 3% per year, despite the decreasing governmental revenues.
