Today terrorists attacked Attacked airport in Istanbul, Turkey, at last count leaving
28 dead and at least 60 injured:
-- At least 28 people have been killed and 60 others wounded in the attack on Istanbul Ataturk Airport in Turkey, Istanbul Gov. Vasip Sahin told Turkey's state-run news agency TRT. It is unclear if the total includes the bombers. Another report, from semi-official news agency Anadolu, said six of the wounded are in critical condition. A total of 49 ambulances were sent to the site.
-- Turkey's Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag earlier said at least 10 people were killed and 20 others injured. The suicide bombers were also killed. Bozdag said one attacker "first opened fire with a Kalashnikov then detonated himself" at the airport entrance.
-- In total three bombs exploded, the governor told TRT.
--One of them was located just outside a terminal on the pavement, while the other was at the security gate at the entrance to the airport, Bozdag told CNN.
-- Authorities said no bombs exploded within airport buildings, according to the minister.
-- A video posted to Twitter shows a view from a camera inside an airport terminal. A few dozen people are walking around when a bright flash and fireball erupt in the background.
-- A Turkish official told CNN that police fired shots at suspects near the international terminal in an effort to neutralize them.
-- Videos posted on social media show travelers sitting on the airport floor. A man shouts, "Get down! Get down!" Someone cries as a gunshot rings out.
As I write, the estimated death toll is now 50.
It remains to be seen how the Turkish government will respond but it's pretty likely they won't take the Obama route and blame "lone wolf" bad actors. They won't likely
blame their own people as did Obama. I'll wager big money that they don't say that the best response to the attack will be
love and compassion as did our idiot Attorney General. It's unlikely that Turkish President Erdogan will fight and thought of linking the attack to ISIS. But one thing from the Benghazi report positively leaps off the page- if we are attacked again while Obama is President, we are totally f**ked.
There was no rescue attempt for those under attack in Benghazi, but it wasn't for lack of assets. The problem was that those assets were being utterly mismanaged. It's hard to
overestimate the stupidity:
