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.

Remember, Islam is a religion of peace™

Does anyone have any idea why they did this? This is a real head scratcher.
Luggage.
Muslims apparently loathe luggage of all kinds. What else could explain this? After all, they are normally such people of peace....

The bombers might also be Kurds. Turkey’s Kurds want their communist state where they are free to grow opium.

Excuse me I need to get over to my Facebook page right away so I can add the Turkish flag over my profile picture. That is the way we are supposed to show compassion without actually acknowledging the problem, right?

are the hosts at MSNBC still waiting to see if it was a bunch of white guys who blew the place up?

Muslims killing muslims. Shite vs. Sunni’s. They have been killing each other for 1600 years and the idiot diplomats think this just some bunch of radicals doing the killing. Wrong. They hate each other. They hate Jews. They hate Christians. Nothing is going to make them happy except an all muzzie world. That won't make any difference. They hate each other.
They kill their own family for *honor*.
They just hate. Period.
