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.

Why don’t we let a million more of these peace loving people into the country. What could possibly go wrong?

Why anyone in their right mind would visit a muslim country is beyond me.

Turkey is pretty conservative, so 0bama will blame conservative extremists.

Not true. If the world was completely muzzie, they’d kill each other until only one sect was left.

Then they’d fight each other.

"Let's see, how can we win public support for our cause? I know, lets kill big numbers of them. That should do it!"

Terrorists..., we need a human sized Roach Motel.

It had always been my contention that Iraq and Pakistan had been like flypaper to them. Roach Motels if you will.

Yes, we lost men too, but we vaporized a lot of folks who would today be trying to kill us at home and abroad. Just not enough of them.

Glad they died there before getting here.

They’re “fighters” for the caliphate because they murdered Westerners and non-Muslims, who were almost certainly among the dead. An international airport terminal is a favorite killing ground for these savages.

The Islamists live for the sole purpose of destroying us and establishing control over the world. They’re deadly weeds in the garden of life and civilization, and need to be rooted up and destroyed with all prejudice.

The United Communist Party headed by Dingy Harry and Bela Pelosi will introduce a bill in the morning to abolish fertilizer and suitcases. All on Obama and Broomhilda with an assist from Sen. Mcqueeg. There was no ISIL until their blunders.
