All grown up, shes the graduate. Nightly news begins right now. Right now. From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. Good evening, rarely have we seen so many images of a major terror attack as it happened. Tonight, graphic airport Surveillance Video is helping officials in turkey piece together how last nights bombing unfolded at the istanbul airport and how a terrorist began with a gun attack and how they seized on a moment of shock and confusion to get into position to kill so many people. 41 in all. The number of injured well over 200. Nbc news chief foreign correspondent, Richard Engel is in istanbul with new late developments. Reporter new details revealing the sophistication of the rolling suspected isis attack at the istanbul airport and the again again bravery of Turkish Security s f fors who tried to stop it. The turkish Prime Minister outlined the ongoing investigation, based on his account and others, heres what we pieced together from initial details. The three militants arrived in two taxis. They opened fire outside the main terminal, perhaps to draw away security forces. One then detonated a bomb. The ensuing chaos allowed the two remaining militants to slip past security and enter the terminal itself. But police put up a fight. A new video shows the moment when a witness said a policeman tackled one of the militants in the terminal, wrestling him to the ground but the bomber still managed to detonate. The final surviving attacker made is way up to an upper level, but he, too, was confronted by police and shot. The officer who immobilized the attacker before his bomb blew up is being celebrated here as a hero. The officer survived. Richard from connecticut had [000 02 59;00] his wife and walked straight into it all. We didnt know what was going on. There was a possibility of someone coming around the corner with a gun, what people were shouting. Reporter british videographer, lawrence cameron, lad just landed and took pictures and helped a man in a wheelchair. There was families struggling with kids and babies and small children and all trying to get back away from the area. Reporter after a potentially crippling attack, turkey is showing resilience. What is remarkable is that this airport is already reopen. This is one of the plate glass walls separating the outside of the terminal. You can see destroyed pockmark with what seem to be bullet holes. There are more bullet holes here yet this information counter is operating moreorless as normal. The airport is still functioning but also the scene of an investigation and a cleanup all at once. P all at once the turkgo clearly today it believes isis was responsible for this attack. U. S. Officials worry there could be more attacks, and, lester, if you come to this airport and drive by, a lot of glass has been replaced, you can hardly tell an attack took place less than 24 hours ago. Isis did not stop this airport and did not stop this city. Pretty remarkable. All right, richard. You know two years ago today, the leader of isis proclaimed its global caliphate, the islamic empire it would rule. Since then, the group has lost territory. Officials warn thats precisely why we could see more attacks around the world including here in the u. S. Our justice correspondent, Pete Williams has more. Reporter the deadliest and most complex attacks carried out by isis have struck overseas in brussels and paris and istanbul. The cia director said hed be surprised if the terror group isnt planning targets overseas and here at home. If anybody here believes the u. S. Homeland is hermetically sealed and isil would not consider that, i think i would guard against that. Reporter he and other intelligence Officials Say the battle against isis has not reduced its global reach or its efforts to incite attacks around the world. In the u. S. , the biggest has been people inspired to attack by the relentless propaganda in internet interviews and social media. The fbi concluded the husband and wife who killed 14 people in San Bernardino were inspired by isis and the gunman who shot up an orlando nightclub earlier this month pledged his support to the leader of isis. A Department Official told Congress Just yesterday even though isis is under growing military pressure, that threat remains. As theyre losing territory, as theyre l narrative of this caliphate, this state theyre creating, they will try to inspire through the internet these lone wolf types of attacks. Reporter in the past 2 1 2 years, federal agents have arrested 93 people in the u. S. Of isis related charges, average age, 26, threequarters u. S. Citizens. More than half of those arrested were accused of trying to get to syria to join isis. The fbi says its seen that number drop significantly in the past several months. Social Media Companies in the u. S. Have said they try to block users who spread the isis message but its a constant battle because the propaganda change their user names and theyre back online. Pete williams in washington, thank you. The tsa tells nbc news it hasnt changed its Security Posture after the attack but they did deploy Tactical Police units with a show of force today. With two overseas airport attacks in just four months, security here are wrestling with a delicate question [000 06 59;00] but still make the airport experience bearable for passeng passengers. Tom costello. Reporter at select u. S. Airports today, new york, miami, atlanta and l. A. , a high Police Presence watching airport perimeters and arriving traffic.

What you wont see are undercover officers out and about. Reporter with terrorists both in istanbul launching their attacks autodelivery the secure area, the question is whether the First Security checkpoint should be moved away from the terminal perhaps outside to the dropoff curb or across the street in a parking lot. Thats what authorities in brussels did after the march attack. That only moved a big target outside while creating massive traffic jams and delays. Its not good for Aviation Business and not good for the passeng passengers. Reporter former fda administrator was in charge of ty at overseas airports. His concern for u. S. Airpo airports, the front entrance is far too often very vulnerable. Is this enough to deter a terrorist . No. This is a visible presence for a vehicle type threat. Its not out far enough.

So we cant do waterboarding, which is its not the nicest thing but peanuts compared to many alternatives, right . Now, new backlash within his own party. Senator john mccain, a former prisoner of war. Its not the United States of america, its not what we are all about. Its not what we are. Reporter for months, after paris and San Bernardino and after orlando, trump stuck to his strategy, take the toughest line on terror and dont back down. Hes doing it again now.
