A two pronged gun and bomb attack on the Ataturk International Aiport in Istanbul, Turkey, has left 36 people dead and over 140 injured.
The attacks occurred late Tuesday, and began outside the airport with three gunmen shooting up the place before moving inside the terminals.
After law enforcement arrived and started engaging them, all three targets blew themselves up, leading to massive casualties, with the victims believed to contain both local and foreign nationalities, due to the location of the attack.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the attack to serve as a motivation to conscientiously fight terror all across the globe.
The attacks are believed to have been carried out by the Islamic State (ISIS) terror group, although they are yet to claim credit.
