Were onle rolling coverage here on the Terrorists Attack. What appears to be a Terrorists Attack and were following the breaking news where its now just after midnight. An early reports are panting aa horrific scene. According to officials ten are dead and 20 wounded taz a result of a Terrorists Attack at the turish airport. We have two possibly three explosions happening outside of the International Arrivals. Now a witness say that is she saw a first explosion and then saw a Police Officer dive on a suicide bomber and then that exploded and then a third explosion outside. Now, an attack er opened fire with a rifle and no claims of responsibility yet. Multiple sources saying that it fits an isis profile. The long summer of discontent has just begun. President obama has been briefed on this and the flights in turkey are on a stop. Lucy, we have plenty of being a target of isis. Well, theres also a far left militant group thats attempted to carry out the attacks and theres no shortage of it when it comes to potential attacks and were hearing from several experts that this would fit the isis profile, and its absolutely too soon to speculate on that. We can say that theres been attack at the airport. Now, i lived in turkey for many years and familiar with the airport. I can tell you that its incredibly busy in the evening. We have been able to confirm that this attack took place basically in the area and thats before you enter the physical building. Unlike the United States the airport has xray machines and then before its the main security perimeter. Everything has to go through the xray machines. If those are not in place and the bombers could get inside, the casualties and death tolls could have been higher. The so far were reporting that ten people are killed and this is according to turkish o officia officials. So paint a picture were us. Theres a security line and no security to go from the outside and then you walk in. Theres no security when you get in there. Theres one level as you enter the perimeter and then another one when you go to gates . So if you pull up in a taxi or your loved one drops you off, as soon as you walk in the glass doors and enter the building, there are queues that you line up and put the bag through the xray machines. Anything does not inspected before you enter the crowded terminal check in part of the airport. What about the individuals . You have to take out the phones. It could have been worse if people were able to just walk in and so go as far as they could and that was the case in the u. S. Yeah i have a feeling that youre familiar with how it works. Maybe the future of the airports around the world after this. Thanks very much. Let me go to steve and he is editor at large for the atlantic. I have been through it and i was in and out of there with biden that visited turkey and met with the president at the end of january. As other people have said there are screen ers when the attacks happened in brussels, that was one of the things that brussels did not have and did not have in that attack. The president and former Prime Minister thats just stepped down have been absolutely obsessed with the security and obsessed with the pkk and isis was not there enemy for a long time but became the enemy as in fact some isis attacks began to unfold inside of turkey. So the level of concern and awareness and sbrintelligence i very intense. Thats what makes this particular attack interesting. They have not been laxed at all in my opinion in worrying about this incident. I was going to say that youre assessment of the turish security, and some are saying that they have been almost too focused on it in to the point of alien nation and how they have been in the security measures. Before today, did you assume that flying through that airport was one of the safest airports to fly through . Yes, i fly throughout the middle east and that airport to me is one its crowded and there are a lot of people. The domestic terminal and International Terminal has a different crowd thats there, but its one that its visible. I was comparing turkey to brussels when i was there shortly after having been there and that the awareness and shoulders are there and its more in teetense. Before i let you go, whats the biggest Security Threat to turkey if you were to ask tur irk leadership right now. Would they consider it the pkk or the isis or the refugee crisis . What would they say is the biggest security challenge . The senior tirkish leadership continues to see kurtish separatists as the main on session that she wants to crush and destroy. Thats his primary concern. One of the things that biden was trying to do during the trip was to make common cause regarding isis and to try to refocus turkey on some of the issues related to that. This terrorist attack if it proves true that it was an attack may continue to push turkey down that way. The main concern that they have is not isis at all but focused on the pkk and the separatists. Okay. Thanks for the wisdom in this. My colleague richard lives in istanbul. What are you hearing . Well, we hear this was a triple suicide attack. Could have been two bombs. He heard an explosion and it was someone there at the time and quit close to one of the bombs and said that had he heard three explosions. One that happened near to him. A second he saw a Police Officer tackle and wrestle them to the floor and then this bomber detonated the device and the Police Officer was killed. A short time after that he did not see but heard a third explosion. Is there a calm . No, theres not a calm. We had to go through more than one checkpoint with officers and those in plan clothes. The radio is doing nothing but coverage of this event. This is not a normal scene. Its still one that they dont know where to go and finding roads that are blocked and backing up on two lane highways to find other roads. The its not a normal scene. Its your home richard, and i know that you have felt very safe living there and you have been through every airport in the world probably at this point. Did you ever put st. Airport on the list of ones that you felt needed to be a little bit more alert . Frankly, yes. I think the theres an issue that they have tremendous security and its not a lack security. Theres a Security System where you check the bags before entering the terminal and then once you cross into the immigration. For the certain high risks and then the high profile and then traveling from here to the United States or canada or israel, you will also go through questions and a Third Security check, but you can only do so much to protect the outside. Thats why the first checkpoint is there. That security measure may save many lives tonight. If you debt grenade a bomb inside of a terminal, its not the same as doing it on the curb side. You know the government really well. What response do you expect from them if this is proven to be isis proven to be pkk . Well, if its proven to be pkk and thats very unlikely, i think that we will see a Major Military offenses. There are towns that are surrounded and attacked. Thats a pattern that we have seen in the past. This does not fit the profile of them. This fits specifically the isis profile and i reported several weeks ago that they were from a u. S. Intelligence source and that isis forwarded deployed more than 30 militants to carry out attacks during the month of ramad ramadan. Theres an indication that something was going to come during ramadan. Well, i know that youre trying to get as close to the scene as you can. Hopefully you will get there the traffic. Joining me now is former ambassador and then its a communication and then let me start with the turkish poll o ticks here and then its the fact that theyre dealing with multiple threats and obviously theyre more focused on pkk and the curds. This can be a wake up call to him. Yeah he is right. The potential collaboration of isis and the pkk is an issue that i want to raise. Also chuck you think a collaboration between pkk and isis . Yeah, because they both are determined to strike inside of turkey. One cannot underestimate the fact that theres an offshoot. Other pkk called and referred to as the tak. Its the kurtish freedom hawks and theyre the organization thats been the more militant of the pkk offshoots that attack the center were kwar and attacked the airport a little while ago. They made the claims that they were going to do what was necessary to collaborate with isis in order to engage in other civilians and soft target attacks in both istanbul and others. Well, it depends on who is doing the fighting chuck. The United States and turkey has been at odds on who is going to be supporting what organization and whereby the United States is providing certain support in Northern Syria and then the United States is declaring the pkk to be a Terrorists Organization what is hals with what is are you spolgzth for the atagss and then the airports. Do you believe that the turkish government is going to be more about following the leads that lead them and those that take them to isis. Well, i am going to bet that while the profile that may have been emerged here as a result and the claims by the United States official and that theres all of the hallmarks of isis. Okay. We want to have a quick break. Thank you for bringing this. We will be back following this breaking News Coverage out of turkey and a the Terrorists Attack on the Worlds Largest airport.

Com were back and covering the breaking news out of istanbul, turkey and three explosionings. A few updates before we go to the scene in istanbul. The nypd put out the Community Affairs said that multiple sources say what is going on in turkey, but no threat to the new york city area at this time. Bostons airport on their security measures, they put this out a few minutes ago. The security is robust and dynamic. They remain a posture and there are elements seen and unseen. Tur irk services have daily fligh flights. So far no threats here in the United States. Just wanted to pass that along. Joining me outside is gerard and middle east correspondent for time magazine. Tell me what you have seen and know. Reporter yes, i can hear you can you hear me . Yes, i can hear you. Give me the updates on what you know out there. Okay. All right. Were having a little bit of trouble here on the phone. Gerard, one more chance there. We will come back to you. Another former quest here and Nicholas Burns and former undersecretary of state for political affairs. Am bbassador burns and they hav multiple threats and dealing with the syria problem and first and foremost the crisis. The number one security challenge is the pkk and the curds. What do you see tonight and what does it tell you . Well, chuck as you know the turks have suffered deadly Terrorists Attacks and many of them on the part of the kurtish groups and some of them by the Islamic States. Some of them say that its impossible to know at this point for sure who was offered the attack. This come cans at a time when turkey announces yesterday have dramatically the ties with israel and so that could possibly be one of the reasons why the attack was today. Turkey has been riven by the government, hard lining government and then the curdish populations specifically the pkk and other groups. I think that you have to look widely at this point for the cause of the explosions. You know, how would you describe them and the United States . Its obviously and file that its as if both president bush and obama no matter what you feel of turkey, he has to be on the u. S. Side of things. How hard is it dealing with him and turkey in general . I think that its very difficult and challenging for the obama administration. President obama has tried very hard to establish a relationship, a working relationship with the trust and its been difficult because there are a number of disputes between the two governments and then the other government as you know as gone in a direction and shutting down the newspapers and that racing and jailing the journalists as well as the former generals. In turkey its one of the most important partners in the middle east because of the turkish influence. Its a country with the influence to the middle east and it just happens to be right in the vicinity next door to an iraq thats divided and syria thats deploeded and a country thats frontline interests. I think if youre look for a country that can help us and then in syria, its turkey. Okay. You bring up the fact and its a oh yeah, thats right. Turkey is a part of nato. What does that mean in regards to this and what could it mean . Well, they stick together in a crisis. If theyre facing an assault from groups or some type of assault in the United States, theyre going to want to help turkey respond to this attack in termsov of the cooperation and that kind of thing. This does not amount to an article five and all of the countries come in. It means that theres simplety for the people and frankly were all facing this from the Islamic State if thats who offered the attack. If its a kurtish attack of course, were going to want to help the turks to figure that out o aand to respond as best a they can to keep the society safe. You have seen chuck a series of these attacks in istanbul and other parts of turkey. This is a problem for a country that wants to be global and have tourists. The state department has had an advisory out and warning americans of traveling to turkey because of the events. Let me ask you, is turkey going is the tush irk government if theres evidence, is he going to take the evidence and that p points to curds and not siisis . Thats a difficult question to answer and i understand why youre asking it. He had a policy several years ago of dialogue with the pkk. Thats all over and the some of the groups have carried out Terrorists Attacks and theyre to blame for that, but i think that the initial focus of the tushish going is going to be there. Turkey has to be honest with that as they go through the investigation. What role can the United States play at all in helping to mediate things in the curds and turks . If this continues and you continue to have this sort of, youre not sure if theyre fighting with and against isis and then another place are fighting against an allie, it cannot really survive if it continues to be three and four way circular firing squads here. What role can they play in softening the relationship . Well, first and foremost theres an a deadly Terrorists Attack. The United States is going to want to be a good ali and help them if they have any information, and what we have. Help them get to the source of the attack and stand by the people at this time thats going to be the fist reaction of the United States. On the kurtish question and we dont know if a group was involved in the attack and the United States for many many years and of course theres a dialogue with the turks and the curds are a sizable poll lagspu in turkey. Now if the groups dont have that dialogue or go to violence, cannot blame them for protecting its people and the intern International Air port. They have been willing and all of the groups and the pkk to have a peaceful dialogue and thats not always been the case over the past 30 years. Yeah, thats sure. Former ambassador burns for political fa political affairs. Thanks for coming on. Were in the breaking news and very important breaking news. Thank you. Were going take a quick break and when we return, the more that we will share it with you. We know that its an attack and would be of the busiest airports in the world in istanbul. The question is who was behind the Terrorists Attack . We will have more after the break. Flo [ ghost voice ] oooo [ laughs ] jaaaaamie, the name your price tool can show you Coverage Options to fit your budget. Tell me something i dont know she slimed me. Which i probably shouldve seen coming. [ laughs ] i want to make sure that according to the press reports at least are dead and some 40 wounds and were still collecting information and trying to ascertain what happened and who did it. I want comment further on it and expect to say that this is daily fair. Thats why i say if first challenge that we need to face is count erring the violent actors and for most of the reasons. John kerry secretary of the state saying something that a lot of americans feel and its called the daily fair. The responding to the attacks in istanbul. I am sure if youre watching right now, youre feeling the same way and this seems to happen more frequently around
