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.

“Imagine the total drop in strife and death without muslims.”


I was just telling my wife a few days ago that if I found a bottle with a genie in it my first and only wish would be for every muslim on the planet to just go “poof!” Gone!

The world would be a better place.

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 slut 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.

Might very well be true that they did, but ISIS always says they did it about everything. It is part of their marketing strategy.

I don’t want to be a stickler for details but wasn’t it a month ago that the airplane disappeared going from France to Turkey?

And now this explosion at the airport in Turkey.

Is there a pattern here?

Wasn't Isis running their stolen oil through turkey a few months back..??? Turkey was killing the Kurds who were trying to kill Isis and stop the oil flow, and so on and so on....

If this is so then I guess Turkey got some of what may make them change its mind about the madmen of the desert...

I don’t believe they falsely claim about atrocities, I can’t remember any particular such incident.

At least Kurds only fight for independence, some are mohammedans, some aren’t, and even the ones who are seem to get along with the Christian Kurds.

Well, it’s how they celebrate. A long tradition, you know. 1400 years of it.

Funny how that happens.

Up until the day Clinton took office the dems were always saying the economy is horrible because of Bush

The day that Clinton was inaugurated the economy was great because Bush was gone.

Clinton inherited a good economy thanks to Ronald Reagan.

Benghazi and the SS agent will not turn the election...terrorism being out of control might turn it.

But our AG says all we need to do stop Islamic terrorism is to “love them!”
