Turkey airport attack: 36 killed in explosions at Istanbul Atatürk

Gunshots, screams and explosions pierced the air Tuesday at Istanbul Ataturk Airport, as three terrorists armed with bombs and guns attacked passengers at one of the busiest travel spots.

Witnesses described deadly carnage and crowds in a panic as the attackers struck.

At least 36 people were killed, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said, in the terror attack, one for which there was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Another 147 people were wounded, Turkey Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said.
