ISTANBUL — Following Tuesday night’s terrorism atrocities at Turkey’s main airport, more information has come to light showing how the attack went down.
At least 41 people died during the attack, while another 238 were wounded in the bombings.
The attack on Istanbul’s Ataturk airport began around 10 p.m. when three suspected ISIS militants drove into the airport in a taxi. The armed attackers then reportedly engaged airport security in a gun battle.
The first explosion took place after one of the attackers detonated his explosives near the entrance to the arrivals hall, ABC News reported citing a Turkish official.
Another then made it up to the first floor of the departure hall and opened fire before blowing himself up.
The third explosion took place after one of the terrorists reportedly blew himself up close to a parking lot outside, ABC News reported citing a Turkish official.
Flights resumed at 2.20 a.m. on Thursday morning following the attack, ABC News reported.
