This it is unclear what hes doing. You see that man run away and then you see the explosion. As we said, appearing to actually detonate himself. Terrifying. Unbelievable, what you actually see there. We understand from officials that there were at least three suicide bombers and when you see that gun skid across the floor. We understand that first they opened fire with kalashnikov Assault Rifles and then blowing themselves up which you actually see in the instance of this attacker and we actually have the exact moment that one of the explosions literally ripped through the airport. As you can see, people walking at that moment not expecting anything and that bright flash of fire and the debris starts to shower down. The blast sent panicked travelers running through the terminal and this is cell phone picture of people running away and it shows people scrambling into Airport Stores and crouching, trying to stay hidden and we know they were hiding underneath checkin counters. President obama has been briefed on the attack and the faa has halted flights to and from istanbul. This is the second terror attack on an airport in three months and it comesas isis today released a video celebrating two years of its selfdeclared caliphate. We have reporters around the world covering this story. We begin with joe duran at the airport. Joe, this is a heavily secured airport and you have security before you come in more than even in the United States. What do you know about who was behind this and how they carried it out . Reporter erin, i think it is too early to tell. I arrived over an hour ago. This, where im standing is the airport road. What you see at the ataturk is the airport entrance. Ive traveled many times through this airport and ive been based here for many years and normally at that entrance, you have policemen with machine guns and they stop, not every car, but they stopped certain cars. I dont know what happened tonight. As i came tonight, as we made our way down this road this road was full of people just running from the airport, passengers scared. Some of them injured. And if you see, a few people walking around, but its 200 meters from the entrance. Earlier in the day we were at that point where there was a lot of chaos and there were people crying and people trying to leave the airport. Weve been pushed back 200 meter, but if you can see there are people still trying they dont know if theyre going to be traveling, but if we can just show people are walking through the airport expecting to take a flight, and as far as we know, the airport is closed at the moment. All right, joe. Thank you very much. I want to go to clarissa ward, our Senior International correspondent. Clarissa, this story has been developing so quickly. At first we thought perhaps only ten dead, maybe one bomber, maybe two and now its up to nearly 30. The numbers are climbing, multiple suicide bombers, what are you learning is behind this attack . First of all, turkey is no stranger to terrorist attack, unfortunately. The main culprits historically have been kurdish separatists and also, of course, isis. I would say in this case from what i am looking at and from what others who are experts in the area have also seen, it seems to fit the profile much more of an isisdirected or possibly isisinspired attack. Now why . There are several reasons and isis likes to use what they call what they call suicide fighters, theyre not just blowing themselves up and theyre trying to go in heavily armed and trying to kill as many people as they can before eventually blowing themselves up. We saw that obviously in the bataclan theater in paris. We havent heard any claim of responsibility from isis yet, but erin, its important to note that typically, isis has not claimed responsibility for its attacks in turkey and thats because they want to feed on the sense of uncertainty. They want to feed on the sense of chaos, striking the istanbul airport is a very symbolic target. This is a bridge between the east and the west. Turkey is a very outward looking, westernfriendly Muslim Country and all of these things that isis hates, and we did hear the spokesperson for isis adnanny calling for more attacks during ramadan either by people who are in isis or support isis or just inspired by isis, we are now, erin, in the last ten days of ramadan. These are considered to be the ten holiest days of the holiest month of the year. Traditionally this is a time for carrying out major attacks, but certainly we can say three bombers, all of them armed. This was a coordinated attack. It took some planning and so far it is fitting all of the profiles of an isisdirected or at the very least, isisinspired attack, but as i said, no one has yet claimed responsibility, erin. Out front now on the phone, lawrence cameron. He landed at ataturk airport just after the attacks occurred. You got out of that plane and walked into the airport and saw what you describe as an apocalypse. Yeah, i mean, i didnt actually hear the blast, but i stepped around the plane and looked around the corner and there was a wave of screaming people towards me. I mean, the only other thing i could say is sort of a zombie a po pock lips and screaming and kids on the floor and someone in a wheelchair stuck in a door crying out for help. The crowds ebbed and flowed and there were police and sort of camped out a bit and then flared up again, and this is just out of control. The police kept the whole thing closed for about half an hour, 45 minutes. But, yeah, just utter panic. You know, people crying. Not much fun, really. And they finally did let us out and past the scene where sort of two blast sites. One was inside and more near dutyfree from watching the images on tv is where this chap who was on the floor blew up and then there was another sort of site outside where the taxi rank was. A big blast had gone off there, but yeah, you know, was there still blood on the floor and just just horrendous, really. And and as you said, when you went through passport control, did you were there other people at this point . Were any of these stations even manned or was it completely basically abandoned . No. The police had blocked off the entire corridor to keep everyone out and we couldnt see anything beyond that and eventuep eventu brought in more police and let everyone through quite quickly and there was an absolute crush of people to get through because i guess some people had split up from relatives and friends. Yeah. And then, people trying to mill around and looking back towards people and police just shutting us through. And right past the scene, at least two blasts from what i can tell. Just horrendous, in the car park there were bloody rags on the floor and just yeah yeah, pretty horrific stuff. Lawrence, thank you very much for talking to us. I know you much be in shock. I am glad you are alive. Former cia operative bob baird, and mitch silver, the former director of intelligence analysis at the Police Department and michael weiss, the coauthor of isis inside the army of terror. It is hard to watch, but i want to show it so you can give us a sense of what happened here. The actual blast that you see there looks enormous. What does it tell you . You know, youre looking at the blast and the smoke. Of course, its early, but you know, acetone peroxide, this is available all around turkey and of course, syria and iraq. The guy mayave had a dead man switch. I saw he had a gun and it looks like somebody shot him, a policeman and then hes down and lets go with that switch. The deadman switches arent anything the police can do about it and you see that people were running away from the guy and probably had heavy garments and was hiding a bomb and unless you are going through a metal detector, no way to figure out that these people are wearing suicide vests. These people knew what they were doing and the detonators went off and they apparently had some practice. Mitch, when you see that explosion, it appears that youre looking inside the airport and we know two of the bombs were inside the airport and before security and inside the airport and when you see that explosion, what do you see . Clearly, erin. They decided to attack the airport where its most vulnerable where youre at the ticket counters before youve gone through security where there hasnt been much vetting to prevent anyone from detecting you and the idea that suicide bombers. This very much looks like from the way it was carried out almost a replay to the degree of what we saw in bruss els in march. Mitch, i want to play now another video. This video appears to be one of the suicide bombers and its very eerie and awful to see, but this could tell us a lot about what happened here. He actually runs. It appears that hes shot. Falls to the ground and his gun skids out in front of him. Then 10 or 15 seconds will go by here, but you can see him sort of struggling and someone will run by and it appears hes struggling and i know bob baer is talking about a dead man switch and you see his arm go up there and a couple of seconds later, theres the explosion. When you see that, what do you see, had the gun and had some sort of a vest on his person. He obviously was not able to take out more people using his gun, this would be the moment at which he would try to kill as many people as possible using whatever explosive device was strapped to him. This would be standard protocol for an isis suicide fighter as he was describing, once you are done with your rounds, mass rating people with automatic fire then you detonate the bomb although it didnt look like many people were surrounding and one guy came by and saw this guy was about to do something terrible and ran off. All bets are off and he did not want to be taken alive by the Turkish Police. That was very much clear. Juliette, when he fall, gun skids and that appears to be very clear. There wasnt Anyone Around him at that very instant, but the explosion is again, like the other one, just looking at it as a lay person it looks very large. Yes. Absolutely. And purposeful. Look, i was just looking online, this airport has 284 flight destinations of 113 countries. This is not turkeys airport. Its the worlds airport, and so for those of us who have traveled east of paris, turkey is actually tends to be the Central Point of destination. S and for u. S. Homeland security purposes it is the last point of departure airport. That means that tsa is there and its checking cargo, people and the plane itself, but it cant sort of go in and protect every airport, right . Thats the responsibility of the nation itself and thats the challenge with the last point of departure flights is if theyre coming into the United States at airports that are always going to have soft aspects to them and vulnerabilities to them. As i indicated at the top of the show the story is changing quickly. The death toll has gone up. We now can confirm 32 people are dead and 88 are wounded. Bob baer, this was something that was coordinated. We know there were at least three attackers and they had clear plans. They had the guns and they had the suicide vests and what does that tell you about the amount of planning, the planning that went into this . Erin, the last couple of days ive been looking at all of the Islamic State attacks, yemen, lebanon, jordan and the two major attacks there. You have to wonder whether these people have not organized some sort of external jihad especially after the fall of fallujah. The purpose of this group is to say were here. Were not going anywhere and go ahead, take fallujah, but were going to hit you elsewhere and its in this context until we get more details and confirmation that i look at this that certainly the Islamic State can get people across the border into turkey and launch an attack like this very logical, istanbul airport and its an International Airport and turkey is a key ally, a member of nato and a very westernized country and this really, really is a damaging, damaging attack. All right. Thank you all very much. Youre going to be with me with the hours. More on our breaking news, the turkey bombing. The bombers unleashing an arsenal before they actually went through security and the deadly terror attack coming right after the state department. They issued this yesterday, increased Terror Threat in turkey. What more do officials know from the chatter and a congressman who was just briefed will be out front as our breaking coverage continues. This just got interesting. Why pause to take a pill .

We are following the breaking news of a deadly terror attack at one of the busiest airports in the world, one of the most secure airports. The death toll climbing at this hour, 32 dead and 88 wounded. Chilling new video that captures the chilling moment that at least one of the three suicide bombers unleashed this horrific attack inside of the main airport in istanbul, turkey. You see the attacker on the ground seconds before he detonates himself in that massive explosion. At least one of the terrorists, we are told, opened fire with a kalashnikov rifle before blowing himself up. That rifle skids out of his hand. The white house issued a statement condemning in the strongest possible terms todays heinous terrorist attack in their words. Our Senior International correspondent ivan watson is en route back to istanbul, a city he knows very well. Ivan obviously in paris tonight. Weve all been through this airport, you more than almost anyone. Right now it is shut down and this is one of the busiest airports in the world. Reporter thats right. Its shut down and as we just saw from joe duran at the beginning of your broadcast there are still people trying to get into the airport with their luggage hoping to travel out, just to give you a sense of the sheer volume of people that expect to move through that airport every day and of course, shut down right now. According to a turkish government official, there are three attackers with suicide vests, one in the parking lot. Two outside the arrivals hall who all detonated their suicide vests. We are getting slightly contradictory numbers from different government officials as to the casualties and a Turkish Embassy official in washington telling cnn 32 dead, at least 88 wounded. The Justice Minister going on record that the number of fatalities are at least 31 dead and 147 wounded. Regardless, it is a mass casualty attack and it is also on the gateway to istanbuls turkeys largest city, its commercial capital, a crossroads of travel from across the world and for people who have not been there, let me just paint a picture for you. If you drive into the airport compound, you go through a Police Checkpoint where police with sub machine guns can stop and search vehicles, their trunks as theyre going in and as youre driving then to the arrivals hall there typically are lines of dozens of taxis there and thats where we see in some of the video and some of the Security Camera video that clearly an explosion took place. If you wanted to go into the arrivals hall say to meet somebody arriving, you would first have to go through lines of security, erin. You have to go through a metal detector thats manned by Police Officers, by security guards and to even get into the arrivals hall where there would be a starbucks, other coffee shops as well as other boutiques and things like that, and normally in that area at any time of day, dozens and dozens of people Milling Around either arriving, leaving, a very, very busy place, and clearly, going to do more damage to turkeys already Tourism Industry which is suffering as it battles two terrorist organizations simultaneously, isis and the Kurdistan Workers Party or pkk. Erin . Thank you very much. Ivan watson. Sue savage joins me on the phone. She was at the airport. You were there and you heard the gun shots . Oh, absolutely. While we were there my friend was flying out that evening and im flying in a couple of days and i just recognized the gun shots and then heard this huge explosion, and i knew immediately it was a bomb, and i just bolted as fast as i can not very fast, and went into the first room i could find which happened to be a mens prayer room, but i left there fairly quickly and ended up actually in a mens toilet in one of the stalls with this lovely young woman and a young boy and we waited there easily half an hour. Came out of there and went into a secure room with the xray luggage and all of a sudden we heard more screams and more gunshot, and i ducked into the place where they xray luggage, and everybody else bolted out, but this was the closest place for me, and i must have been in there ten or 15 minutes before i peaked out and was told, no, its okay, you can come out now and a lot of us, about 30 of us were herded into a womans prayer room where we stat for 45 minuts or so and said it was all clear. They escorted us to the front of the airport and took us down the escalator and we were on the ground floor at the arrivals hall and there was a lot of blood. It was obviously one of the place where one of the suicide bomber his blown themselves up. There was a huge pile of still damp blood and it was a couple of hours after and there were drip marks everywhere. It was this scarf that had fallen down and there was glass and when they escorted us around the other side of the escalator where you can Exchange Currency and there was so much blasts on the floor and there was scuffing as
