Ataturk airport was long seen as a vulnerable target.Recent bombings have been linked to either IS or Kurdish separatists.
Three attackers opened fire near an entry point to the terminal and blew themselves up after police fired at them, officials said.Followed by this, a gun and bomb attack on Istanbul’s Ataturk international airport has killed 36 people and injured more than 140, officials said.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim blamed the so-called Islamic State was behind the attack.
Tuesday’s attack looked like a major co-ordinated assault. There are X-ray scanners at the entrance to the terminal but security checks for cars are limited.
