At least two explosions rocked the international airport in Istanbul, Turkey, on Tuesday night, killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens more, officials said.

Officials could not immediately say whether the blasts were caused by bombs or a suicide attack.

Deputy of Istanbul Eren Erdem said on Twitter that 10 people were dead and at least 20 were injured. The U.S. State Department said it was working to determine if any Americans were among the victims...

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."

That police officer is a Turkish hero and undoubtably saved lives while sacrifcing his own.
