Came across this from Daily Caller- Daily Caller got the video footage from the twitter feed from someone named Gilgo
 The video, which began circulating on Twitter and elsewhere shortly after the attack, shows people running away from a man who appears to be running through the airport with a gun. Suddenly, the man drops to the ground, apparently after being shot, and drops his gun, which slides beyond his reach
Gilgo is of course a self proclaimed Kurdish activist
Warning: It's gruesome



 As USA Today reports:Turkey is vulnerable to growing terror attacks

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack at the airport, but Turkey has been a target of both Islamic State terrorists and Kurdish separatists during the past year.
Turkey has been targeted by a NATO for destabilization. Call them Kurds or ISIS or my personal favourite KurdIShIS- Makes no difference- 

Recall? :Turkey's Destabilization- Kickin' It Up a Notch? Or Two,Three, Ten Notches?? 

 The Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK), an offshoot of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group, said Friday it carried out a suicide bombing in Turkey's biggest city Istanbul this week that killed 11 people.

A car bomb ripped through a police bus in central Istanbul during the morning rush hour on Tuesday near the main tourist district, a major university and the mayor's office.

TAK also warned in a statement that although it was not deliberately targeting foreigners, Turkey was no longer safe for tourists.

Turkey is the world's sixth-biggest tourist destination but has seen a sharp drop off following a spate of bombings that have killed hundreds of people in the last 12 months -TAK comes right out and says, yah we did it! And we're going to keep on doing it !
Killing civilians. Terrorizing a nation. Destroying it’s tourist industry.Destroying it’s history.
Kurds/ISIS makes no difference to me- TAK made it clear they were going to continue targeting Turkey even destroying their tourism industry "Turkey no longer safe for tourists"
Attacking an airport would surely drive that message home!
