Two explosions hit Istanbul's Atatürk Airport, 36 dead 140 injured reported

[Bratva]

I don't know if it is the same blast as the video posted earlier in the thread but this one is also being reported on Russian and American TV as being of one of the suicide bombers detonating his vest. Turkish security at the airport reportedly, acted extremely bravely and undoubtedly prevented many more deaths. Deepest sympathy for all the victims.

two blasts occured. this was the second one

Takfiri ideology has no faith -

Is that so? When a few weeks ago I pointed out to @TMA the textual weakness of assuming what a "Jew" was when the Koran was written (or "revealed", if you like) is the same as what a Jew claims to be today, he referred me to an imam's learned review of the matter, part of which emphasizes that it didn't matter because there are plenty of other places in the Qu'ran or hadiths about rejecting non-Muslims and any Muslims who like them: link

@Irfan Baloch: Just as this isn't the time to needle Turks about their past deeds regarding Israel, so it isn't the time to issue a blanket pass by claiming "Takfiri ideology has no faith..." Save it for later, lest the emotion of the moment blind you now and in the future to important observations and truths.

Thanks a lot...

rest in peace to the dead.. prayers for our Turkish friends and all other nationalities who are caught up

locking thread to clear the inconsiderate posts please bear with me


please e polite in such time.


this is like sinking to their level. why respond bigotry and ignorance with ignorance and something so needless? I think their burials should be unceremonious and unmarked graves or pits.

re-opened
in respect of the deaths of innocent people. please park away the politics aside. if you want to argue causes and reasons then do so without trading insults

Irfan Bhai. Did not wanted to come across impolite. If you felt then sorry.

Again another terrorist act by ISIS rats.

A suicide gun and bomb attack on Istanbul's main airport, one of Europe's busiest, has killed at least 32 people and injured 60 more.
Three attackers were involved, with one reportedly firing a Kalashnikov as they targeted an entry point to Ataturk international airport.
The attackers blew themselves up after police fired at them, officials say.

Recent bombings in Turkey have been linked to either Kurdish separatists or the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.
This looks like a major co-ordinated assault, the BBC's Mark Lowen reports.

Ataturk airport was long seen as a vulnerable target, our Turkey correspondent adds, reporting from a plane stuck on the tarmac in Istanbul.
There are X-ray scanners at the entry to the terminal but security checks for cars are limited.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the attack, calling for a "joint fight" against terrorism.
The US condemned the "heinous" attack, saying America remained "steadfast in our support for Turkey".

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said: "We grieve for the victims... We stand by Turkey".

The terrorism has spread in Turkey sadly. The government needs to eliminate the threat. No, its never too late. You still have a peaceful country unlike your neighbors and unlike Pakistan. We have suffered this brutality but you do not have to. You have your forces,NATO, allies like Pakistan. Take all the help you can and do not let terrorists take hostage of you. The terrorists are all Khawarij and they must be killed. Unity to Turkey, Death to Terrorism!

So much for Turkish intelligence service !

We are not considering one hard fact that Turkey is bordering two of the most deadly war fronts and is neighboring areas controlled by one of the most notorious GANG of butchers. I would rather appreciate the efforts of Turkish LEAs and Intel agencies who have blocked nefarious designs of such scums to a great extent. We only come to know about that One the failure of Intel agencies but never know a 1000 they have successfully dealt with. No system is perfect and leaks do occur in such a scenario.
