At least 28 people were killed and dozens more injured when two suicide bombers attacked Istanbul’s main international airport Tuesday night.
(FOX)- Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag confirmed the death toll from the blasts at Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Bozdag added that “around” 20 more people were wounded, but Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency later reported that around 60 people were injured, six of them seriously.
“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,” Bozdag told Turkey’s state-run news agency.
The private NTV broadcaster reported that one of the explosions occurred at the international terminal while the other took place at the domestic terminal. However, that report was not immediately confirmed by Turkish authorities.
A Turkish official told The Washington Post that the two bombers blew themselves up after police shot at them. Another official told Reuters that the bombers detonated their explosives prior to passing through a X-ray security checkpoint.
