NO FEWER THAN 36 KILLED, 147 OTHERS INJURED IN INSTANBUL AIRPORT EXPLOSIONS

WISEMEN learnt that the attack occurred after 9 p.m. when three attackers arrived at the airport in a taxi. The attackers, armed with guns and suicide bombs, opened fire on travelers near the airport’s entrance before detonating their vests, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said at a news conference.

Security forces responded to the assault, firing on the gunmen as they entered the terminal. The attackers then detonated suicide bombs while under fire from police, officials said.

A source told WISEMEN on  Wednesday  that 13 foreign nationals were among those killed in the attack. "Authorities from Ukraine and Iran confirmed citizens from their countries were among the dead, according to multiple reports in Turkish media", added the source.

The assault appeared to be the work of the terrorist group ISIS, Yildirim said, though investigators Wednesday were still piecing together exactly what happened and why.

In the first report, WISEMEN gathered that only 10 killed and scores injured in the multiple explosions; but few hours later, the death toll rose steadily in the hours after the attack, with the prime minister confirming 36 people and three suicide bombers had been killed. At least 147 other people were injured. Yildirim said the wounded had been taken to area hospitals, some in critical condition.

According to the source that release this information to WISEMEN says the attacks were so terrible that people don't know which way to run to save their lives as two of the explosions were detonated at the interval of few seconds.

“Everything was OK and then all of a sudden there was an explosion and everyone panicked and then there was another explosion and then everyone really panicked,” he said. “We didn’t know which way to go, because we were afraid there would be more explosions.”
