FEAR INC. – Gunman Fire and Multiple Bombs Detonated at Istanbul Airport

21st Century Wire says…

We’re told so far that 28 people have been killed, with another 60 injured, after three suicide bombers have attacked the international arrivals terminal at Istanbul Ataturk Airport this evening, following an exchange of gunfire with Turkish aviation security.

Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport is one of the world largest and busiest airports, connecting western and eastern hemispheres, with footfall on par with London’s Heathrow Airport and Charles De Gaulle International in Paris.

With the geopolitical tension already reaching a fever pitch due to western military activity led by the US along the southern Turkey and northern Syrian border, today’s event is almost certain to trigger calls for increased military intervention by the US and its allies in what Washington DC claims is primarily a ‘fight against ISIS’, but in reality is being used in order to enact a long-standing US-UK policy of regime change by removing the government of Bashar al Assad in Damascus.

Following the attack in Istanbul, Turkish authorities have stated that there has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Still, however, the media are moving into overdrive in advancing the “ISIS” narrative.

Despite the fact that there have been absolutely no confirmation about who carried out this three-pronged attack, the international media, led by CNN, are already claiming that these attacks ‘do fit the profile of ISIS’.

Sensationalist media merchants at CNN are already promoting a new upgrade from the passé suicide bombers, to the new upgraded terrorist model called, ‘enhamazi’ (Arabic derivative of the Japanese ‘kamikazi’), or “Suicide Fighters” – allegedly, these are terrorists who don’t just blow themselves up, but instead show up with automatic weapons to shoot as many people as possible before detonating their suicide vests and killing more people.

The media claim that this is an ISIS attack is based on The Brussels Attacks that was said to have killed 16 people in March of this year at Brussels International airport, which authorities alleged was carried out by the Islamic State militants, although plentiful evidence from the event strongly suggests that aspects of the so-called ‘terror attack’ were staged-managed, at least from a media stand-point, and possibly throughout the ‘attack’ itself.

Some early eye witness reports have already been returned, reports Reuters:

“There was a huge explosion, extremely loud. The roof came down. Inside the airport it is terrible, you can’t recognize it, the damage is big,” said Ali Tekin, who was at the arrivals hall waiting for a guest when the attack took place.

A German woman named Duygu, who was at passport control entering Turkey, said she threw herself onto the floor with the sound of the explosion. Several witnesses also reported hearing gunfire shortly before the attacks.

“Everyone started running away. Everywhere was covered with blood and body parts. I saw bullet holes on the doors,” she said outside the airport.”

Reuters then added:

“A witness told Reuters that security officials prevented his taxi and other cars from entering the airport at around 9:50 pm (1850 GMT). Drivers leaving the terminal shouted “Don’t enter! A bomb exploded!” from their windows to incoming traffic, he said.

Television footage showed ambulances rushing to the scene. One witness told CNN Turk that gunfire was heard from the car park at the airport. Taxis were ferrying wounded people from the airport, the witness said.”
