Two suicide bombers open fire before detonating their explosives at Turkey's biggest airport.

At least 28 people have been killed and 60 wounded in twin explosions at the main airport in Istanbul, the city's govenor has said.

Two attackers opened fire before blowing themselves up at the entrance to Istanbul Ataturk Airport's international terminal, an official said, citing information from the interior ministry.

Police fired shots to try to stop the attackers but they detonated their explosives, the official said.

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

Sure wish FR had an edit feature. Slut s/b slot :)

Well this knocks the damming Benghazi report right off the air. The Secret Service agent will also not be seen on CNN or MSNBC, or any of the Sunday talk shows and that includes Fox News Sunday with leftist Chris Wallace. He’s on Lou Dobbs tomorrow, but other than a couple appearances on Fox, and that excludes Megyn Kelly he’s story will not see the light of day on national TV. Trump should buy a 30 minute slot on all the networks on elective Eve for this honorable Secret Service agent to tell his story to America and do everything in his power to keep this crooked, lowlife bitch out of the White House.

That 1.6 million people intends to incarcerate the rest of humanity.

Human good mixed with sin produces evil. Nations saturated with evil lead towards violence.

The only way to meet the violence of evil is with the violence of righteousness, justice, love and grace.

They certainly targeted foreigners, but we can still hope most if not all victims are Muslims...

I don’t think Islam is a good idea, but who are you going to get to make those 1.6 BILLION people go to your magic island?

You must have missed the “ /s “.

Obviously, the proposal is ludicrous, and I’d never think for a moment about so destroying Australia — I’d be more likely to go help fight to save it!
