Three suicide bombers opened fire then blew themselves up in Istanbul's main international airport today, killing 36 people and wounding close to 150 in what Turkey's Prime Minister said appeared to have been an attack by ISIS terrorists.
One attacker opened fire in the departures hall with an automatic rifle, sending passengers diving for cover and trying to flee.
