Now at least 28 dead,
60 injured in terror attack at Istanbul airport
At least 28 people were killed and dozens more were injured when three suicide bombers attacked Istanbul's main international airport Tuesday night, a government official said.
Istanbul's provincial governor, Vasip Sahin, confirmed the death toll from the blasts at Istanbul Ataturk Airport to the private NTV broadcaster. Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency reported that around 60 people were injured, six of them seriously.
Initial reports indicated that there had been two suicide bombers, at least one of whom attacked the airport's international terminal. The discrepancy between the initial reports and Sahin's statement could not be immediately reconciled.
"According to the information I was given, a terrorist at the international terminal entrance first opened fire with a Kalashnikov and then blew himself up," Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag told Turkey's state-run news agency earlier in the evening.
