Istanbul Blast: 36 Killed, More Than 140 Injured And Hrithik Roshan Escaped Death By Mere Hours

Last night as soon as the news of Istanbul Attacks spread, the whole world went under the shock.

On Tuesday, three terrorists armed with bomb and guns started shooting inside and outside the terminal at Istanbul Ataturk Airport in Turkey. After police fired at them, they blew themselves up.

36 people were killed in the attack and around 147 people were injured. Though there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack but Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that the ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) group carried out these bombings and killings.

The attack happened at Istanbul Ataturk Airport around 10 pm and the security camera footage at the airport captured two of the blast. The unsuspected attack left the passengers terrified at the airport.

The flights into the airport were diverted to the capital of Ankara and other cities and the airport was closed overnight for some hours. Early on Wednesday, the airport was opened for outgoing and incoming flights.
