    Attack on airport in Istanbul

    http://news.sky.com/story/1718871/ex...tanbul-reports

    Is ISIS at it again? Did someone post this already? Figured it may have been, but i can't find any threads about it.

    Yeah just saw this, following along using the reddit live thread (https://www.reddit.com/live/x6320sn8e8e8). Sounds awful, 3 explosions, at least 50 injured, who knows how many dead.

    Apparently up to 10 martyrs so far, that is a large scale attack.

    Man some really powerful videos on that live thread, watch with care, at least one shows an up close to one of the bombs exploding. I only hope the worse is past.

    Stink like IS all the way.
    And in the end someone who post a picture of erdogan and Gollum together will end up in jail.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    They aren't very intelligent. If they keep blowing themselves up they (ISIS) won't have any followers left.

    Unfortunately their stupid ideology makes it such that for every 1 dead 10 more follow up to that martyr.

    Thanks for the warning. I'll steer clear. Not sure why people like seeing such things. Experienced enough bombings for one lifetime.

    Got any genius solution to the problem that all our politicians failed to pinpoint?

    It can be IS, and likely is.
    But since this is Turkey, there are several options.

    I saw that and came to check for a thread but no one made one before.

    Airports being insecure is really really bad.

    Unfortunately a dozen deaths here or 50 deaths there will not rile the entire world to agree to the destruction of ISIS.
    There was a time when a single Archduke getting popped in the noggin whipped the whole world into a war. Nowadays, all that will happen is the victim country will release a statement that they are "deeply concerned."

    That, and there is no cut and dry way to eliminate ISIS or we would have done it long ago.

    The ones in the sky news article are fine, but there others you can find that you may not like to watch.

    Some CCN correspondent just said, that it could also be another Islamic terror group, because Turkey signed a new peace treaty with Israel today.

    Russia keeps vetoing UN resolutions because they don't want to lose their good ally Assad, the president of the Shiite part of Syria. But yeah, if it wasn't for Russia the UN would be in Syria right now, no Syrian Sunni refugees flooding Europe, etc.
