"Egypt expresses its solidarity with its Turkish counterpart in these hard moments،" Abu Zeid added. On Tuesday evening، three suicide bombers opened fire before blowing themselves up at the main international airport in Turkey's capital of Istanbul. It is the third busiest airport in Europe. Police fired shots to try to stop two of the attackers just before they reached a security checkpoint at the arrivals hall at Ataturk airport but they detonated their explosives.
