Further information
"Suicide bombers have killed at least 10 and wounded 40 at Istanbul's Ataturk airport after blowing themselves up as police opened fire, according to Turkish officials.
It is understood that a 'terrorist' first opened fire with a Kalashnikov, before blowing himself up.
It is not yet clear how many attackers were involved as witnesses reported twin blasts that struck at the International Arrivals Terminal at 7.50pm GMT - 9.50pm local time.
The first photographs to emerge from the airport show a scene of devastation, with debris and what appear to be ceiling tiles scattered over the taxi ranks outside the airport."

Per MSNBC: Flights from Istanbul with scheduled departures tonight to JFK are likely to be canceled.
That police officer is a Turkish hero and undoubtably saved lives while sacrifcing his own.
