Soon the policeman approaches the prone body of the terrorist but he apparently notices that he is not dead and is planning to blow his device, which he appears to be carrying, strapped to his body. The cop runs off and seconds later a huge explosion goes off.
Officials believe Islamic State militants are the reason behind the attack. “It became clear with this incident again that terrorism is a global threat. This attack, targeting innocent people is a vile, planned terrorist act,” Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said. Ataturk Airport is now under high security.
