A terrorist attack on Istanbul’s Atatürk international airport has left at least 36 dead and scores more injured after a series of deadly explosions were set off in the midst of crowds.
Shortly before the blasts, assailants armed with AK-47 rifles became involved in a firefight with security and police near the airport’s x-ray security checkpoint.
Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said that Isis are behind the attacks.
The last year has seen a terrible toll of terrorist attacks on Turkey, many (thought not all) attributed to or claimed by Isis.
