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.

Self-radicalized homegrown lone wolves.
Does anyone have any idea why they did this? This is a real head scratcher.
Hate crime.
Workplace violence caused by latent homosexuals with a gun fetish?
Imagine the total drop in strife and death without muslims.
From the little bit of research I just did onliunbe, I'd say "not very restrictive." Registration required, but purchase and carry are not as restrictive as in say, Chicago, NYC, NJ, or California.
Terrorists are about disruption for the purpose of political change. I would not hunt for any immediate event as being a motive. Other than the fact that this location, the airport, is pretty “westernized.”
