28 dead, 60 Injured As Three Suicide Bombers Attack Istanbul Airport With Explosive Vests And AK-47s - Despite Hero Policeman 'Wrestling Bomber To The Ground'

A photograph of the entrance to the international airport shows scattered debris as onlookers gather around to help the wounded - initially estimated to number around 60 people
Suicide bombers have killed at least 10 and wounded 40 at Istanbul's Ataturk airport after blowing themselves up as police opened fire, according to Turkish officials. It is understood that a 'terrorist' first opened fire with a Kalashnikov, before blowing himself up. It is not yet clear how many attackers were involved as witnesses reported twin blasts at the International Arrivals Terminal. The first photographs to emerge from the airport show a scene of devastation, with debris and what appear to be ceiling tiles scattered over the taxi ranks outside the airport. One image showed an AK-47 (inset) abandoned on the floor of the airport.
