                       Turkish police blocks the road as relatives of the passengers wait outside the Turkey's largest airport, Istanbul Ataturk, after the suicide bomb attack on June 28, 2016 in Istanbul, Turkey. Three suicide bombers opened fire before blowing themselves up at the entrance to the main international airport in Istanbul, killing at least 28 people and wounding at least 60 people, according to Istanbul governor Vasip Sahin.Official says,two bombs in international terminal, Of the three bombers in the airport attack, two were at the international terminal, and the third terrorist was in the nearby parking lot, a Turkish official told CNN. All three detonated suicide vests.
                                             Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for a unified international fight against terrorism."Make no mistake: For terrorist organizations, there is no difference between Istanbul and London, Ankara and Berlin, Izmir and Chicago or Antalya and Rome," he said. "Unless all governments and the entire mankind join forces in the fight against terrorism, much worse things than what we fear to imagine today will come true."The attacks happened on a warm summer night at the airport, east of Istanbul, which is the 11th busiest in the world in terms of passenger traffic.The airport was closed overnight for several hours, and flights into the airport had been diverted to the capital of Ankara and other cities.The airport has since reopened, and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it has lifted a ground stop for flights between the United States and the airport.Prime Minister Yildirim told reporters that the airport was opened for incoming and outgoing flights early Wednesday, according to the semiofficial Anadolu news agency.Turkish PM said,"The terrorists came to the airport in a taxi and then carried out their attacks."The fact that they were carrying guns added to the toll.
                                                             Preliminary findings suggest all three attackers first opened fire then detonated themselves."Yildirim didn't clarify why, but said signs pointed to ISIS being behind the attacks. The attacks occurred with a little more than a week left in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.Multiple U.S. officials told CNN's Pamela Brown and Elise Labott that the early thinking among U.S. intelligence officials was that ISIS or an ISIS-inspired group was to blame. Like the Turkish Prime Minister, the officials said there is much more investigating to be done.One official said the attack bears the hallmarks of ISIS because of the target and the method. And a senior US official pointed to the way it was coordinated using weapons and explosions.Some analysts say that this type of attack is a response to ISIS recent defeats in Iraq and Syria, notably the loss of Falluja."They may lose ground, but they're still a potent force," CNN analyst Bob Baer said."They know their days in Iraq and Syria are probably numbered, they've got to find somewhere else to operate," said retired Lt. Col. Rick Francona, a former U.S. military attaché in Syria.Other official said,It would be a "big surprise" if it was the PKK -- or Kurdistan Workers' Party --- based on how the attack was conducted. The PKK tends to target military and security installations.
